Reddit has been down for more than three hours

Reddit is currently experiencing a big outage affecting its websites and apps, according to the company’s status page. I’m consistently seeing an error message when trying to load Reddit on my Chrome browser. When I downloaded and opened the iOS app, it just shows a Reddit Snoo mascot with X’s for eyes.
“Reddit is currently offline,” according to a message on the status page. “We’re working to identify the issue.”
The problem appears to be widespread, with about 50,000 people reporting issues on Downdetector. Many Verge staffers are experiencing problems loading Reddit as well.
It’s unclear exactly what the issue is. Reddit’s status page says that both the desktop and mobile web are going through a “major outage,” while native mobile apps are experiencing a “partial outage.” (The iOS app is still very broken for me.) We’ve pinged Reddit for comment.
