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'd suggest them to disable inbox and chat in their app. They should make an additional app like Facebook has, they can call it Reddit Messenger.

Why am I not surprised?

[–] unsunny@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Wow. I usually only used Reddit for one community, and so I’d usually just log in through my mobile browser. It also makes a lot of the information that’s harder to find through the sea of ads on Google less accessible.

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

[–] PascalSausage@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I think the difference is that Top is based on sheer number of interactions overall (upvotes, comments etc) while Hot is what is getting a lot of interactions in the present.

A month ago. Well that should of been a red flag. Honestly, it has been a terrible experience forever with soft blocks everywhere.
