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.

Can't you just change the browser's ID string and make it look like it's not a mobile browser?

I can honestly say since Twitter did this I’ve hardly ever used it

As if it wasn’t bad enough to ask if I want to use the default mobile app every time I go to a Reddit page on my mobile web browser. 😕

[-] Stoneblackdog@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

To be fair the mobile browser version was already shit.

This is terrible! I cannot believe that within the span of few months, reddit has not only shot itself in the foot but now effectively is trying to drown.

[-] Tractor7691@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

Wow... just "Desktop Version" or if that doesn't work quit Reddit. The app is that awful.

[-] Pepper@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

Is this supposed to be some kind of gotcha so Reddit can say 'hah, you used the app to look at Reddit!'?

[-] TenNinetythree@vlemmy.net 5 points 2 years ago

A few weeks ago, Reddit stopped the one usable mobile interface (.compact). Since then, I stopped visiting Reddit on mobile apart from a few moments of trying out miserable 3rd party apps.

I will say though that the mobile site has sucked for a long time. Lol
