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 already blocked it for unregistered users. There’s only that annoying overlay, that forces you to install their app.

      It’s only quasi-blocked, though. You can dismiss the overlay, though it does come back. I can’t remember if it stops being dismissable eventually (either after N pages or N minutes).

        It’s not dismissible on NSFW content - this includes things that are not actually 18+ such as r/chairsunderwater posts where the chair is… Not Fully Submerged underWater.

          Ah, thank you. I’m usually landing on the tech subs on mobile, which I guess are all marked SFW.

          Also, I’m responding mostly to say I appreciate your username.
