ORIGINAL STORY: Pinterest and Reddit are currently not working for users in the United States. As of 3 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, DownDetector had received over 2,500 outage reports for Pinterest and nearly 30,000 for Reddit. Most users reported that the apps were not loading, likely due to server-related issues.

Reddit Outage

Reddit users encountered a recurring error when trying to open threads, with the site displaying the message: “Server error. We have encountered an error. Please try again later.”

Social media quickly filled with frustrated reactions.

One person reported on X, “Reddit servers were fine when I wanted to waste time but when I need help with something serious it decides to go down.”

Another wrote, “The great Reddit blackout! A moment of silence for those who lost their daily dose of digital drama. Imagine being forced to think for yourself—what a wild concept! Time to dust off those old books, folks.”

A third person reported, “Oh no, Reddit outage! Hope it gets sorted soon!”

Another user wrote, “The moment I decide to search Reddit, it's down.”

Pinterest Outage

Pinterest was similarly affected, with thousands unable to access the app or load boards.

One user inquired, “Is everyone’s pinterest down or just mine?”

Another wrote, “Horrible time for pinterest to be down rn.”

A user preparing for a concert said, “Pinterest is down and I’ve got a Drake concert I need to plan an outfit for.”

Another user wrote, “Pinterest breaking down while I need it the most.”
