Thousands of Twitter users around the world are reporting issues as the social network suffers another outage.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Following and For you feeds – which display tweets on the platform’s homepage – instead carried a notice reading “Welcome to Twitter”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

There were more than 5,000 reports flagged to outage monitor Downdetector within half an hour of the fault appearing at 10:00 GMT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It comes as Twitter reportedly laid off 200 staff members on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

While the Following feed, which collects tweets from people who users are following on Twitter, is not working, some people are reporting they can now see the For you feed – a collection of tweets from people similar to those they follow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

And the site’s search tool appears to be partly working, although it does not display any tweets in the Latest tab. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But despite the feeds not working, users are still able to tweet as normal – even if their tweets are falling on deaf ears – leading to the phrases “#TwitterDown” and “Welcome To Twitter” being among the top trends on the platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

There have been several intermittent outages in recent months, with a temporary outage in early February seeing some users told they were over the daily limit for sending tweets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The BBC has approached Twitter for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
