Reddit is no longer working due to what appears to be a major technical issue.

Instead, visitors were presented with a large number of error messages indicating that the site was not functioning properly.

Visitors to the desktop version of the site saw at least three warnings indicating that there was a problem with the site.

“Server error,” one said. “An error has occurred. Please try again later.”

Users of the official app received similar error messages.

Tracking website Down Detector showed a huge spike in outages on Wednesday night, with problems reported all over the world.

No information about the incident was immediately provided on Reddit’s status page.

The outage follows a string of high-profile outages at major online sites and services. The Reddit problems come about a month after a technical glitch at cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike knocked computers offline around the world.
