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.

I really think Lemmy and the Fediverse achieve the original reddit vision better than the VC-funded bullshit reddit has become. I've only been in this little fediverse for this weekend and already it feels like the beginnings of reddit did, back in 2008 and 2009.

Totally agree with that. I was just checking my Reddit account and it looks like I signed up in 2011, so I'm not sure how much things changed in those first few years, but I love how this site reminds me of the original reddit I knew
