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.

    Damn now this is just next level bullshit. I thought that even if I can’t use Infinity anymore I can still access reddit through a firefox mobile with adblock and privacy addons to make the ux somewhat bearable.

    So…

      Destroy reddit speedrun any% [WORLD RECORD]

      Yeah the desktop site especially is why i wanted to leave reddit for the past few months, im happy they shot themselves in the foot the past week so we could move over to a different platform. I kept having to switch back to old.reddit just to see a NSFW post without an account, they made it so you cant even sort comments anymore without being logged in recently. Just malicious design. The website on mobile has been shit for years now asking you to USE THE MOBILE APP.

      You can spoof the user-agent, it’s a PITA but not that hard. I did it to use chat gpt with bing, but didn’t bother for Reddit

      I recommend libreddit, no commenting and it’s slower, but at least it works on mobile

      I’m really hoping for Infinity for Lemmy… My first experience with reddit was from Infinity. That app is great.

        The dev posted on r/Infinty_For_Reddit that he’s gonna try a subscription model first, and that he personally doesn’t use Lemmy, so there’s no Infinity for Lemmy client in the works, although he says that making Infinity For Lemmy should be easy with the API Proxy that the Lemmy Developers are making

        Looking at Infinity’s code, porting it to use a custom api url isn’t that hard, allowing the use of the Tafkars reddit api-lemmy bridge
