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.

    Yikes this is so insane. I’m so sick of the ads and spyware laden apps. Once you look into that abyss it’s hard to unsee it. It’s uncomfortable to have every aspect of you monetized and viewed. It’s unnatural man. I just started hardening my internet and device use this year.

      Yeah. I’ve been conscious of it too. Moderately anyway. Ublock, pihole, vpn, browser containers, etc… It feels so bizarre that your entire online presence can be used to profile your existence for corporations to try and bleed every ounce of you for profit. I hate it. There are some good privacy communities on here already. Running my own instance and seeing ublock and pihole block literally nothing from Lemmy is incredible. This is pretty much what I wanted. Pure community. Sure there is some small technical stuff to iron out but it’s like 90% there… Already.
