(Reuters) -Reddit was down for thousands of users on Thursday, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com, a day after the social media company said it had fixed a software bug.
Downdetector, which tracks outages by collating status reports from several sources including users, showed more than 14,000 reports of outages.
Reddit’s status page confirmed the company was investigating a problem with its website. The social media company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The outage began around 10 a.m. ET and at its peak impacted more than 70,000 users, according to Downdetector.
The company had rolled out a fix for a software bug that prevented tens of thousands of people from accessing the social media platform on Wednesday, according to Reddit.
