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 are not trying to burn it down. They don't care about those who leave. Reddit wants to be the new TikTok and those who leave over stuff like this are only getting in the way.
