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.

    This actually just helped me make the connection. Whenever I was consciously trying to close the app because I had something else to do I would always make sure to say “one more” then not scroll even a little past otherwise I’d want to keep scrolling to see what was hidden.

    If I’m in this situation again I’ll make sure to turn paging on. I am not sure mlem (lemmy app) supports this, though.

      Yeah, that „one more“ simply wasn‘t enough for me during times where it was harder for me to keep focus. Sad that it has to be these kind of measures to get „engagement“. And it is not only social media sites where the scrollbar on the right of your screen never reaches the end…

      I‘m using lemmy by webbrowser, paging seems to be the default there.
