https://old.reddit.com/ https://old.reddit.com/ is returning fine for me. Accessing the www is dumping an exception message and short stacktrace.
- computerex 2y ago
  This is also returning 502 for me.
  - dvaun 2y ago
    Maybe something upstream from the edge is failing in some region while others haven’t failed. My hunch is some service related to a user_id (from the exception I’m seeing) is failed in one cloud region it’s running from. Not familiar with Reddit as I haven’t worked there.

  it's js code, can't be that old, based on the trace it could be some new code written as a wrapper around apis from a messy monolith.

New reddit just gives me a `Oops, something went wrong, please try again later.` error. Old reddit gives a 502 error. Status page claims all systems are OK (they are not)

        Better than the notice for the previous outage which said "Degraded performance" even though the site was inaccessible for a lot of people.

  Feels a little odd they describe it there as just a problem affecting many frontends. Is www/browsers considered just another frontend, not something essential to use the service for most users?

Reddit has been down atleast once every day over the past week or so and it's getting annoying.

- daedrdev 2y ago

- morkalork 2y ago
  You mean around noon to 1pm on the east coast? It shouldn't be that mysterious for why.
- pds6502 2y ago
  I have noticed it become increasingly more lethargic over only the last two weeks, almost to the point of how slow is linkedin. I attributed it only to excessive client-side script they push into my old and unpowerful device. Now, with this event and discussion here, I believe it's indication of some bigger change or effect.
- candogteeth 2y ago
  Yes I have also found it to be slow and when uploading a video upon playback there is no audio. This problem only started within the last few days. I hope they get it fixed soon.
