Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers (old.reddit.com)

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.

It's getting worse by the minute. I really really hope Lemmy usage picks up.

It seriously is. I've been on the site for all of 30 mins now and I am loving it so much more than reddit

Why? It's a less mature platform with less features and not enough content. I get the idea of it being attractive but it's like Mastadon without the content you've got an uphill climb.

I'm loving it, there isn't half as much karma farming bs and pointless arguing in any of the subs I've joined. The content will come if folks don't give in and go back.
