Reddit went through some issues for many on Monday, with the outage happening the same day as thousands of subreddits going dark to protest the site’s new API pricing terms.

According to Reddit, the blackout was responsible for the problems. “A significant number of subreddits shifting to private caused some expected stability issues, and we’ve been working on resolving the anticipated issue,” spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt tells The Verge. The company said the outage was fully resolved at 1:28PM ET.

    Christian also pointed out that Reddit’s own app is equally inefficient, using the same number of API calls as Apollo when browsing the same subreddits.

          And it doesn’t work properly, and doesn’t have many features the official one has.
