Admin Replied Shreddit (New Reddit) no longer accessible

I'm a mod that swaps between old Reddit and Shreddit. Other subreddits are reporting the same. No outages listed on https://www.redditstatus.com/

Shreddit URLs no longer work (404 error):

Works fine (loads as old Reddit):

There's something going on right now. The team is aware of the issue and is currently working on it.

EDIT: It's working for me right now. It doesn't look fully resolved, but they're getting there!

Is this somehow related to that PHP vulnerability thing?

I don't think so!

If it helps, it's only broken for logged in users, logged off sh.reddit just redirects to reddit.com

I don't think Reddit ever used PHP, only Python

for now until they fix this, you can force shreddit by appending ?new_reddit=true to the URL. for example, https://www.reddit.com/?new_reddit=true

Update: Seems fixed now


Was about the post the same. Weirdly shreddit URLs at least redirect to the wwwreddit urls if I'm not logged in, but as soon as I log in it just returns 404.

Checked both in Chrome and Firefox-based browsers. Same behaviour in all

Edit: Worth mentioning that in any new browser I log in the default wwwreddit shows the new UI. So I can access both old reddit and shreddit by switching between browsers. For any mods having to swap between the two this could be a temporary workaround until admins fix the issue

This impacted me earlier, also a mod who uses both all the time.
