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.

Because reddit ended support for the old, usable mobile page. The one that ends in .compact. Because I don't always have a stable internet connection and the new mobile page is as stable as a pig on stilts. Because the new page is a fucking disgrace!
That got a belly laugh from me! I work on code dev, and I am totally stealing that.
I stole it myself from a German tech support story page called daujones.de, so go ahead.
