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.

As a paying Sync user, I couldn't agree more. Good news is LJ said in one of his comments, "Won't open source Sync. Maybe implement Lemmy". Unfortunately I couldn't link it since the sub's gone dark.

Also, this. But like you, I feel dirty staying with Reddit. And it feels like we're desecrating the legacy of Sync..

Great to see fellow Sync Pro users! I'm trying to get the hang of Lemmy for when, hopefully, he releases Sync for it! I'll gladly pay again, Reddit never deserved it.

If Sync Pro ever works with Lemmy I'll be so happy. Everyone is mourning Apollo and I'm over here feeling like I'm attending Sync's funeral alone.
