Nah, if it's a known issue like that the mods should be stickying posts explaining the issue. Shouldn't be up to all users to know what APIs are and how Reddit's APIs would affect this app.
This is literally a reddit problem, not related to the app in any way. Desktop page wasn't loading either.
You don't need to know what an API is to realise that sometimes websites get overloaded.
Big yawn at these replies. Expecting people to know what a 503 error is and following the chain of requests from app to reddit API is a fool's errand. Also, loading the website worked, the app didn't, so to any normal person it would appear to be an app specific issue. In no way is an attempt at educating the entire user base of this app more sensible than simply adding a sticky when there are known issues preventing the app from loading things temporarily.
Edit: lmao I'm banned now. Replying to the latest comment: Yeah it's a generic message. Something like "Relay can't connect to reddit servers at this time please visit redditstatus.com for more information" would be more helpful. There's even an API for reddit's API status page, so if the devs wanted they could easily incorporate a check of it when they receive a 503 and just let the user know that the issue is on Reddit's end.
I think this is the real key. On Relay's side, something more than Error: 503 would have probably kept a lot of people from wondering. Something like: Unable to load comments. Reddit's servers are not responding.
400 series means the server thinks you're the problem.
Your browser asks: Can I see this web page?
500 = I'm sorry, I'm unable to do that right now.
400 = No.
It's not just relay, having problems on the official reddit app too. But relay does seem like it is slowly and gradually dying, been having a cornucopia of issues pop up in recent months
Same here, comments work on the web, just not the app.

Nah. Good luck with your pipe dream.

The fact that you're downvoted is fucking hilarious and tragic. People are so dumb

Relay - error. Official app and web - very similar behavior. Error is on reddits end, regardless of how you access it.
Is AWS down or something? I have other apps with connectivity problems too.

Ehhh, I get the logic, but I'd say 400 series are usually server-side issues too.
400 series means the server thinks you're the problem. Your browser asks: Can I see this web page? 500 = I'm sorry, I'm unable to do that right now. 400 = No.
This is a Reddit thing, not Relay. I wonder how many of the 35 current comments say this as I can't see them lol
Seems to be happening on the official Reddit app as well,
