Reddit said it was investigating a problem with its website on Thursday as users reported having issues accessing the community-focused message board site. It appeared to be the second outage in two days for the site.
Reddit said there was “degraded performance” on its website, on mobile and on desktop, and on its app.
There were more than 72,000 reports of problems from users on the website Downdetector at 10:16 a.m. on Thursday.
The problems accessing Reddit came a day after another outage on Wednesday.
After users reported having trouble with Reddit to Downdetector around 3 p.m. on Wednesday, the site posted an update to its social media accounts at 7:35 p.m. that evening that said the company had fixed the website and were “monitoring the results.”
A spokesman for Reddit said that the outage on Wednesday had been caused by a bug in a recent update. It was not clear what caused the outage on Thursday.
“We’re up and running on all fronts,” the spokesman had said in an email at 7:39 p.m on Wednesday.
Earlier that day, just before 4 p.m., Reddit posted an update on social media: “Yes. We’re working on it.”
Reddit, which said earlier this year that it had 73 million daily users and more than 100,000 active communities, reported on Nov. 5 that it was investigating a “degraded performance” on its website. The company quickly identified the issue but took hours to resolve it, according to Reddit’s incident report.
