As quoted from the linked post.
It looks like you’re part of one of our experiments. The logged-in mobile web experience is currently unavailable for a portion of users. To access the site you can log on via desktop, the mobile apps, or wait for the experiment to conclude.
This is separate from the API issue. This will actually BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

I’m saving my popcorn for when they take over all the shutdown subs and kick out all their mods.
Yeah, I read this insane “well, Reddit admins will just reopen all the closed subs and things will just keep going like before.” And I just can’t stop thinking about what a shit show some of those big (and all ready quite toxic) will become. You can’t just swap out a group of people to moderate million+ subreddits. It’s all just toxic, racist memes all the way from now on.
And tons of nice niche subs will also go down in flames. Kinda sad, tbh.
It’s like watching people drill holes in a sinking boat to let the water out.
Hear me out… What if /u/spez is trying to burn it down and fuck the IPO
Steve Huffman is trying to stir up all the shit and get fired with a golden parachute, then the remaining team can blame it on him and reverse almost nothing.
They sure are racing to the bottom as quick as they can huh?
This is just the natural consequence of IPO’s and generally what happens when greed replaces stewardship and community. Profit-seeking was always at odds with user-driven content, it was managable up untill big stupid money managed by disinterested parties got involved, and now we’re just in the late stages of Enshitification.
Haha wow. What an effective way to describe it.
Not to defend reddit or anything, but the linked post and comment are 1 month old.
can’t they just change the mobile browser experience in the way that the shareholders want? i don’t understand forcing people onto the app
App can mine more data which is the real product.
You accidentally shared the save link, not the actual archive link. https://web.archive.org/web/20230612055520/https://old.reddit.com/r/help/comments/135tly1/helpdid_reddit_just_destroy_mobile_browser_access/jim40zg/
Mobile platforms need an effective way to block data hoovers. There is a reason everything is an app now and that is that mobile platforms aren’t safe.
I have been wondering why there isn’t a kind of proxy sandwich filter app (a privacy wrapper) that can intercept and respond to certain functions or IP’s with a generic or random response if it fails without it. Like a sandboxed ublock and fingerprint randomizer and DNS filter with a proxy on both ends so it can’t touch your stuff unless you want it to.
The long and short is that ad companies own the internet now.
Doing something like that would be feasible until the app developers don’t counter it, and then it devolves into an arms race, but the OS you’re developing for and the browser is owned by an ad company.
It would be the Manifest V3 situation on steroids.
Yo guys get your popcorn
If they somehow manage to block universal access to the vast knowledge reddit has accumulated over the years, especially for technical stuff, it will be a tragedy. I have learned so much on that website…
With behaviour like this, they deserve to burn down. Incredible timing to do this as well.
All the more reason to rebuild the useful communities on a different platform.
This is true. Leave the corporate to themselves and preserve the community.
Can you stormfront people stop talking about r***it please? It’s been a fash site for years if you were paying attention so why the surprise that the fash site is showing its true colors?
Just block !reddit@lemmy.ml and that should filter out a lot
