X (previously Twitter) appears to be undergoing an outage, with many users unable to view new posts on the site. The social platform reportedly started experiencing issues around 3:40 p.m. ET, coinciding with a spike in outage reports on the Downdetector site. In less than an hour, reported outages have surpassed 25,000 and continue to rise quickly.
The issue seems to target post loading specifically, while user profiles, topics, and pages remain accessible. Nevertheless, clicking on any section of the site leads to an error if you attempt to view new posts. Users might notice older posts on their timelines but are likely unable to interact with them effectively.
Users are encountering messages like “Nothing to see here — yet … Check back later to view posts regarding this” when refreshing their timelines. Attempting to load a specific post results in a “Something went wrong. Try reloading.” error message.
