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.

On Desktop, 100% yes. On Mobile, Browsers in general suck pretty hard, and i often much prefer the app. If only for Notifications and recent apps being easier to manage than tabs.
Makes sense, I’m to lazy for pi-hole or what so ever to be ad free on mobile. But I also hate apps for what could be a website, so I used old reddit on mobile.
I use Blokada 5 to block ads on my phone and it works pretty well. That version is free, but Blokada 6 is their subscription based blocker which is why I specify the number. I have no experience with 6.
I usually hate apps for websites, but old Reddit is too hard to read on my phone so I used third party apps.
I just don’t use heavy ad websites like youtube on mobile. And yeah old reddit is hard to read - but they kind of solved the problem now.
