While there is no official confirmation from the website of what is causing issues and outages for users, people on Downdector who are reporting the problems suggest “WSB (r\/WallStreetBets) has bogged the server down.”<\/p>\n

Others said, “reddit down again lol.”<\/p>\n

Someone else said, “This is the second time in less than 24 hours.”<\/p>\n

r\/WallStreetBets has seen exponential traffic with millions of new subs over the last week.<\/p>\n

People are flocking to the stock market-centric forum because the group has allegedly sparked massive short covers in a handful of popular listed stocks, including GME and AMC.<\/p>\n

This weekend, we noted r\/WallStreetBets’ next move could unleash the “world’s biggest short squeeze<\/a>” in silver.<\/p>\n
