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.

    If it’s blocked for logged in users, why would that effect search engines?

      The implication here is that if they are testing it on logged in users, then they will eventually roll it out to ALL users, whether logged in or not.

      Lots of users use search engines to find topics or solutions on reddit. Since the inbuilt search function of reddit is so bad, it’s easier that way.

      Reddit is one of the best places to find tech support for more niche topics like open RGB, but you have to fund them somehow.
