can't open or view anything from the search engine without an account?

Is this currently being rolled out? I just tried with a generic search and "reddit" and it let me pull up a few threads.

Yeah, a number of people have been saying they can still get on but Reddit is definitely doing this. It appears to be getting rolled out in some kind of A/B distribution.

Gotcha. I sort of figured so, but didn't know exactly how old the news was.

My phone can only open a reddit thread for less than a minute before it locks up and asks for an account.

Oh, lol, I didn't linger long. I was just curious. Maybe what happens to me too.

Wait 30 seconds it will lock you out

That's what the other guy said. Don't have the patience to sit looking at a reddit thread for that long. XD
