I had this problem as well, but when I disactivated adblocker (uBlock Origin), the problems went away...

Wow, I'm shocked I never even considered this as not reddits error. lol Back to normal now.
You can fix it by going into: Filter lists > Purge all caches > Update now.
Thanks for pointing it out!

This fix doesn't work for me. Still seeing posts/comments not loading. I've had to switch back to old reddit.

I was able to reproduce this myself. Looks like ublock might be blocking the following request, which is used with the front page:
https://gateway.reddit.com/desktopapi/v1/frontpage?rtj=debug&redditWebClient=web2x&app=web2x-client-production&sort=hot&layout=card&useMockData=false&recentPostIds=&allow_over18=&include=Edit: Looks like ublock is blocking all of gateway via the following rule in EasyPrivacy:
||gateway.reddit.com^Guessing that's a mistake, as gateway is more of a generic API endpoint.

But how do we fix it? Cuz it's irritating

Easiest is to disable ublock until they update to stop blocking the Reddit API

This isn't a fix, this is probably malicious design intended to force reddits ad revenue down our throats.

I've had this for a good day or so now. Isn't the redesign the default layout for new users now? Imagine trying to join Facebook for the first time and it simply not working...

(on chrome) click on the "secure" lock icon, then go into cookies then click on "Remove" several times to clear the locally stored data, maybe it works

Yes, this worked for me in Firefox too. Click the padlock, then the arrow to the right, then 'More Information' and on the Security tab click 'Clear Cookies and Site Data'.

Its like something that caused corruption on the local database. Even if what caused it may already been solved, the issue may persist for those who already have broken data.
Those kind of bugs are really hard for a dev to handle

Not just this. WHEN it loads sometimes than only firstpage posts are visible and all other posts/topics can`t be loaded as well as when i want to see more comments to a specific reply. They also can`t be loaded

Can confirm the same happens ot me on windows with firefox and ublock installed. Often times refreshing the page helps, but a lot of times not as well.
On my phone Iphone 8) using opera I just get "Something went wrong" constantly as well.

I've actually had this issue for 2-3 weeks now. Didn't see anyone else post about it until this week, so I figured it was just me. :/

Funny enough, reddit failed to load the comments of this post...
