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.

    The struggle is going to be getting the community to actually move over here.

    Like it or not, Lemmy takes work to use and understand. It’s not the best metaphor, but Lemmy is a custom built PC whereas Reddit is a plug-and-play console. Mix that with the growing pains new platforms need to go through, and it’ll be tricky to pull new people in.

    It took me about 20-30 minutes to get a handle on what’s going on, and hopefully it gets simpler as more people join!

      Maybe I already had the right models in my brain, but for me I just created an account and started using it like reddit. Only thing different are the different servers.

        Finding and subscribing to communities on other instances is not slick enough. I hope it improves. It would be nice if people could discover and subscribe to communities without even having to think about which instance they are on.

        Other than that, everything seems very straightforward.
