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’ll be honest: I always prefered the “new Reddit” over the old one. With that said, the App sucks balls and it going public (as it always does) killed reddit within a few days. Now we just hope lemmy catches on and fixes some of the inherent issues with decentralization.

        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.

          On mobile, browsers provide critical accessibility. Notifications are actually a reason for me not to use apps. I don’t want to be notified all the time about everything.
