Reddit was briefly down, according to numerous reports.

The outage was reported by numerous users on DownDetector and Twitter on Wednesday.

According to the outage detection website, the problem was mostly affecting users in the US, who were unable to sign into the site.

The issue reportedly affected the desktop, mobile and app versions of Reddit, which bills itself as the "front page of the internet".

According to screenshots from users, the site was directing people to Reddit's status page, www.redditstatus.com, where it states that the issue was being investigated.

A recent update says the issue has since been resolved.
