09 June 2016: Reddit is down again, and every attempt to access the site ends up with the message:  “our cdn was unable to reach our servers”.

Update: The site is back online, and users are now able to access it.

Reddit is a website which provides people a platform to post, read, and vote just about anything. So, even a little problem with Reddit servers affects a huge number of users across the world, who are then unable to look for subreddits, submit text posts or direct links to the website.
