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.

They sure are racing to the bottom as quick as they can huh?
This is just the natural consequence of IPO’s and generally what happens when greed replaces stewardship and community. Profit-seeking was always at odds with user-driven content, it was managable up untill big stupid money managed by disinterested parties got involved, and now we’re just in the late stages of Enshitification.
This can’t be real… what the hell are they thinking?
It’s gotta be on purpose to force anyone not using the app onto it or away from Reddit entirely
Lol, they are experimenting on their users, and doing so in the bad way.
I don’t think they ever confirmed it, but I’m pretty sure for a while they were experimenting with blocking people who used VPNs too. There was about two weeks where reddit just didn’t work on my laptop and I couldn’t figure out why, until I saw a thread where other people were discussing it and someone said try it without the VPN. Sure enough, that did it. Then after a couple of weeks it went back to normal again.
Well, if they don’t want me to use their platform, I guess I won’t. No need to boycott if I can’t use it in the first place
Geez… I am curious over how many will enjoy their app. I never did lol
