What to do if Archive of Our Own is down for just you

  • Force-close and reopen the app, then check for an available update.
  • Toggle Wi-Fi and mobile data — social apps fail over between them poorly.
  • Clear the app cache (or reinstall) if feeds won't load.
  • Check whether you're logged in on another device that may have signed you out.
