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.

Reminder that even though reddit tried to remove the compact site, it's still available through https://reddit.com/.i

And they really don't stop comin, eh? Corporate social media sites in general keep shooting themselves in the foot lately lmao, I think we're about on track for a massive overhaul in how the internet looks sometime soon. Or, that's what I hope anyways :x

Man, they're really trying their hardest to get rid of me.

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

Tapping on a Reddit link from mobile has mostly been pretty similar to this already for me. They have had an issue with DDG mobile browser for ages, refused to show more than a page of content and kept prompting me to "get the app", which didn't seem to recognise my third-party Reddit app... So I just hit the back button. Just recently, oddly, I noticed it had started working, but I'm in the habit of ignoring Reddit links on mobile anyway now so almost never go there whether it works or not.

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 think they are just trying to get rid of people that care at this point... Lol.

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. 😕

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I stopped using Facebook on mobile and now I only go there occasionally on desktop to read and never post.

Reddit’s getting the same treatment.
