X (formerly Twitter) appears to be facing an outage, preventing thousands of users from loading new posts. Reports of the site being down began around 3:40 p.m. ET, leading to a significant increase in notifications on the Downdetector site. In less than an hour, the reported outages have exceeded 25,000 and continue to rise.

The problem seems to predominantly impact post loading, while user profiles, topics, and pages remain accessible. However, any attempt to load new posts results in an error message. Older posts may still appear on your timeline, but interaction with them is likely unsuccessful.

Users are encountering messages stating “Nothing to see here — yet… Check back later to see posts about this” when refreshing their timelines. Additionally, if loading a specific post, you’ll receive a “Something went wrong. Try reloading.” error message.

As of now, X has not recognized the outage. If you’re having difficulty loading posts, remember you’re not alone. Some users are turning to alternative platforms like Threads or Reddit to monitor the situation.
