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.

Yeah I am 100% sure that old.reddit is going to die. Not now, cause of the massive backlash already happening, but soon. Potentially immediately after this situation dies down. Good thing I’m already moving out of that whole situation…
How do I know it’s going to die? Because spez said it wouldn’t.
Also, many years back, he said old.reddit.com wouldn’t die until after i.reddit.com died.
Well, guess what…
They were pretty clear during their “AMA” that they couldn’t care less about the backlash, even doubling down on the lies about the Apollo dev.
Actually, it wouldn’t surprise me if they decided to kill it sooner rather than later. Restricting mobile access even further indicates to me that they’re probably trying to get all their negative press out of the way as quickly as possible.
