Reddit has stopped working, in what appears to be a major outage.

It is the second time the site has stopped working today – and the latest in a run of major technical issues, according to tracking website Down Detector.

The issue was fixed almost as quickly as it appeared, and so fast that it did not even appear on Reddit’s issue tracking page.

That same Twitter account, however, shows a run of issues at the site, with two major outages in March alone.

The latest problems were widespread, occurring across the world, Down Detector’s data suggested.

During the outage, users were unable to view posts or even load the home page.
