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. The are actually going to BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

    They act like everyone already uses reddit and the users are so addicted they’ll put up with anything. To be honest, this may actually be true for a significant portion of the userbase.

      I would have thought so of myself, but yet, here we are

      These federated let me things really really remind me of the way Reddit used to be about a decade ago. And frankly, now that I found the Jerboa app, I really don’t miss Reddit at all.

      I just wanted to find a place where I could scroll around and chat with other nerds. And that’s basically what Lemmy is.
