Does it? I usually use Reddit on my lunch about this time every day and I can't remember the last time it was down.

I run into issues on occasion, usually with loading comments. I use the web interface.

Interestingly, HN is being really slow for me right now and also gave an error when I first loaded it. Maybe something more global is going on, like network or cdn issues?

I'm also seeing HN being sluggish. But I have crap Australian internet so YMMV.

I have a gigabit internet, am in Eastern Europe, most US services have 40ms or so latency -- pretty strong link.

I had to reload this page 5 page until I was allowed to post a reply. Something is definitely going on.

It is sluggish and throwing some errors. I have a 1Gbps internet connection via fibre in Sweden, so definitely it's not an issue with your connection.

Me too on the HN issues. East Coast US here

Or some of the people who would use reddit right now came here. I usually read hacker news when I try to reach reddit and it is down.

Same thing here, Western Europe on a 500Mbps connection. Maybe higher traffic from people looking for Reddit alternatives?
