A significant number of subreddits shifting to private caused some expected stability issues, and we’ve been working on resolving the anticipated issue.

How in the world does setting a bunch of subs to private crash the website?

This is probably it. Also ArchiveTeam is archiving Reddit as a high priority target so lots of bots scraping it
