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’m not sure. I’ve worked at companies using amplitude and hotjar that can record all click event and sessions on web

        That’s probably a big part. Web browsers can do ad blocking. Within the official Reddit app that’s way more difficult.

        Users can block those on desktop without issue. On mobile it’s a bit harder so most people I know don’t even if they use ublock or something on their PCs/laptops (though that is of course only anecdotal).

        So if anything if that was the issue they should’ve shut off support for the desktop version LOL /s
