As of mid-morning Pacific Time Friday, Instagram was failing to load new content for some users. Down Detector (which is owned by Mashable's parent company, Ziff Davis), showed spikes in user incident reports around 11 a.m. PT. Problems appeared concentrated in major U.S. cities across the country.

Users once again expressed their frustration on Twitter with all of the memes.
