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.

I'm really hoping for Infinity for Lemmy... My first experience with reddit was from Infinity. That app is great.

The dev posted on r/Infinty_For_Reddit that he's gonna try a subscription model first, and that he personally doesn't use Lemmy, so there's no Infinity for Lemmy client in the works, although he says that making Infinity For Lemmy should be easy with the API Proxy that the Lemmy Developers are making

Looking at Infinity's code, porting it to use a custom api url isn't that hard, allowing the use of the Tafkars reddit api-lemmy bridge
