What to do when Reddit is down
- Confirm it's actually Reddit (badge + official page), not your own integration.
- If you build on Reddit, fail gracefully — show a clear message, retry with backoff, and don't hammer it.
- Subscribe to Reddit's status updates so you hear about incidents early.
- Monitor your own app so you know the moment a Reddit outage starts breaking your users' experience.
Reddit is a dependency. Monitor what depends on it.
When Reddit has an outage, your app inherits it — and you usually find out from angry users. Nurbak Watch checks your endpoints every 60 seconds from multiple regions and alerts you on Slack, email or WhatsApp the moment your app starts failing, whether the cause is Reddit or you.
