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, for one, welcome my Louis Rossman overlord.

If there isn't already a right to repair group, we should make one!

Yepp! Found a self repair one on Lemmy.ml, although it's been inactive for a year:

Searched on feddit browse for a Rossmann one and there isn't any yet 😟. I don't think my instance allows new groups so I'm hoping someone makes one soon

Now I'm trying to figure out how to subscribe from Jerboa.

Since I'm using the app right now, I'll have to recite this from memory. But at the bottom of the screen you should see a button second from the left three lines.

Click on that and search for a group in the top portion. Click on the group once found, and there there is a subscribe button. As of yesterday clicking it appears to do nothing. In fact it does work. Exit the list and go back in, you will be subscribed.

Let me know if you figure it out, I had to do it through the browser

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I had to do the same.

Well on the plus side, it pushed me over the edge to start making the first 3rd party client.

What do you think of the name flemmy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

At least one user has to be subscribed to a community for it to get federate if i understood it correctly

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Given the nature of the platform, I think everything is a Rossmann community. ;)
