UPDATE: Nov. 21, 2024, 11:20 a.m. EST The issues with Reddit appeared to have fully resolved. Reports of issues on Down Detector have declined sharply and the site appeared to be functioning normally.

Reddit appeared to crash on Thursday morning, leaving folks who frequent the site frustrated yet again.

Reports of issues spiked sharply around 10:30 a.m. on DownDetector, which, full disclosure, is owned by the same parent company as Mashable.
