Their status page isn't correct. HTTPS://www.resditstatus.com
Since other sites are down I'm wondering if it is an issue with their CDN, Fastly.
Is Reddit down?

#12Same, I'm getting the error for other sites as well. cnn.com as one example.
https://www.theverge.com was also affected with the same error. But it seems to be back up
Re: Is Reddit down?
#13Hitting us too - something's up with Fastly.

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
What is the common factor for Reddit and CNN.com?
Probably their CDN: Fastly. Certainly they use Varnish, which is what's giving me 503 errors at the moment.
https://status.fastly.com/ indicates an outage
Re: Is Reddit down?
#16redditstatus.com never showed anything other than green "Operational", but if you look at the 'request rate' graph, you can see the drop off of requests that occurred.
Everything is back now. I'll be interested to see what Fastly report because they've actually acknowledged that an event occurred.

#17I don't know about today, but for the previous couple of days, I was unable to submit a new post to a subreddit of mine or my profile. I was able to comment in both my subreddit and a different one.
