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 can honestly say since Twitter did this I’ve hardly ever used it

To be fair the mobile browser version was already shit.

@lynny@lemmy.world can you fix the archive link, please? The one you shared tries to take a new snapshot :)

Ridiculous that this has gone under the radar.

[–] KatieAKat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago

Wow. Do they even understand how this looks????

Reddit is officially on a bankruptcy speedrun.

Never understood this on Reddit either... What's the difference between "Top" and "Hot"?

Whelp it was a good run with Reddit. But their app is trash and now experimenting blocking browser access is bullshit. That may be the final straw that convinced me to delete my account.
