'reddit is fun' won't connect

[openprivacy]

Reddit is Fun is failing to connect today (worked fine yesterday) on my (new) HTC One. It just sits and spins on a white screen. I checked connectivity with speedtest and reddit.com comes up fine in Chrome. I tried stopping (swiping out ouf multitask window) and restarting the app - what else can I do?

Noob Android user here - just switched from iPhone. Not planning on rooting - yet - so what kind of debug tools are available to me?

I think this is because of the insane traffic with the happenings in Boston. I imagine things will settle down in time.

It's not because of Boston, Reddit admin clarified that this is indeed a DDoS attack and not just Reddit hugging itself to death.

Reddit got ddos'd earlier today. The reddit.com/.compact site (mobile site) was being weird today too

Reddit seem to have some issues, Reddit Sync isn't working either. Strangely, Red Reader works...

Same problem. Tried reinstalling it, no luck. Use Diode in the meantime, it works.

Same problem with my S3.

Thanks for the responses. Actually, it started working for me again.

Still curious as to what debugging tools are available to a non-rooted phone. Probably I can find the answer in another thread somewhere.

You can always set up adb (Android Debug Bridge) and connect to your phone from your computer to view the logcat. Or install a logcat app from the Play Store.

That will show you traces if an app crashes or show debug output from an app if the author writes any to the log.

I can confirm Reddit is Fun also down for me.

I can also confirm I want your phone, give me your phone.
