Reddit is down – live updates on the huge outage lance.ulanoff@futurenet.com (Lance Ulanoff) | usagoldmines.com

Reddit suffered a major outage on Wednesday, plunging its millions of devoted users into discussion darkness, with no place to drop their hot takes, memes, and AMA.

As of 4PM ET, the popular website was returning a mostly blank page with an upstream error at the top

Down Detector put Reddit at the top of its outage list.

Reddit appeared to be recovering by 4:13PM but the instability remains.

Some pages, like the all-important Popular, remain blank.

On the bright side, you can still peruse some of Reddit’s homepage.

Today, perhaps coincidentally, was also the day of US News Anchor Katie Couric’s first-ever Reddit AMA. It launched at 2PM ET, though we’re not pointing any fingers.

Now some friends will tell you that “Reddit is back!” But until that Popular page returns, Reddit is still struggling through it. After all, how can you know what to upvote if you can’t see what’s already popular?
