Whenever I try to post something, it says than an error has occurred. Code 500. ---

Nope, I’ve been on it several times today, using my phone and my laptop - no issue. ---

I was having this issue in a few subreddits. ---

I always have a problem with Reddit but the fault is mine. I hate to sound like an old fogey but I just can’t really seem to understand how to work Reddit. Back to your regularly scheduled thread… ---

See if you like it any better: > **[reddit](https://old.reddit.com/)** > > Reddit is a network of communities where people can dive into their interests, hobbies and passions. There's a community for whatever you're interested in on Reddit. ---

I avoided it for 12 years but they did a re-design in 2018, and suddenly the whole thing makes sense to me. ---

> [@Mislav](#): > > Whenever I try to post something, it says than an error has occurred. Code 500. Got that the day before you posted. Turned out the posts did actually post, and I had four identical posts. I posted something today that I expected to do better, and I’d love to believe there were sitewide issues, but I doubt it. It usually winds up being a one-off.
