The official Reddit status page says the video has been identified and a fix is “being implemented.”
I have been able to see the feed after some refreshing.
However, we’re going to keep tracking since we’re still seeing reports and social comments with people not being able to access the site. So the fix may not be out for everyone yet.

I tried checking my personal Reddit account and I keep getting this “We’ve encountered an error” message.
Right now, the official Reddit status page shows “Degraded performance” for the desktop and mobile apps.
