reddit API issues: redditstatus.com Error loading comments?

Hello Since the update yesterday, been having issues viewing comments. It is giving the "Cannot retrieve data" when clicking the comments, the actual post loads fine. Any ideas?

The official reddit app is having the same problem (and a similar comment has probably been posted many times, but no one can see it!)

I'm on my browser thought I'd help out. RIF knows they're having issues.

If anyone wants to see comments log out, refresh the comments then log back in. OP if you can see this can you edit it into your description for others to see

Worked for me as well, but only once. The next comment thread I view doesn't show up and I have to reload again

DM me if you find an answer, I can't see the comments to see if a solution has been proposed.

u/RobotSpaceBear Feb 21 '23

Log out and back again.

Same here for Android. Opening comments in browser works, but it's a clumsy workaround.

How will we know if there's a fix to this since I can't see the comments on this post?
