I’m swapping from Reddit to lemmy but still use Reddit for comparison and because not every sub is already as active.

In the last few days Reddit seems to be very unstable to me.

Posts don’t load. Answers don’t get posted and so on. Anyone else having similar problems?

    Harmless theory, lots of AI inquiries. Harmful theory: Elon musk is removing dissent from all social media. Accounts being targeted and removed etc.

    Yes, and my partner notices it too. Slow loading, janky searches (sometimes search comes up with no results??), posts that show a mass of “deleted” comments, votes not getting logged (if you refresh the page, they’re gone). I’m American on mobile browser.

    Happens regularly to me, posts not loading, votes not working, comments failing to get submitted… I’m located in the EU, maybe that’s a part of the problem?

    From the US and this has always been my experience with the reddit app since joining in 2019. I always chalked it up to bad connection

    It seems to be getting slower and slower and has even been off-line a couple of times. I’ve been there 16 years but am getting pretty close to completely bailing out.

    It happens every few days for me. I’m in Canada, fwiw. I don’t notice it being worse than usual.

    Ever since the API snafu i get so many strange errors and timeouts. It’s service quality has been heavily degraded.
