The forum website Reddit has been hit with a global outage with connectivity issues hitting users in the U.S., the U.K Canada and Australia.

The disruption to the website, whose users submit content which is voted upon, was confirmed by Down Detector, a site that tracks social media platforms’ status.

Data on Down Detector showed a spike in reports of Reddit being down at around 10 p.m. ET on Wednesday and users posted comments expressing their unhappiness.

The Twitter account Reddit Status tweeted at around midnight that users were seeing “intermittent failures” and that “we are currently investigating this issue.” It said that the outage affected Reddit.com on desktop web, mobile web and native mobile apps.

The site also experienced a similar global outage at around the same time the day before.

On Tuesday, social media users were left angered when Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp all experienced major connectivity issues for around seven hours.
