They might've changed it back now, but last I tried they didn't let you see the posts in a subreddit on the mobile site.

I've been using the mobile website for 2 years now on iOS and I've always been able to view comments and replies to comments, browse other sub reddits, etc.

I'm really confused what OP is talking about...

The only annoying thing is having to press continue all the time to use safari.

It is in implemented in countries with less users.

If I am on a US or UK VPN, there are no login walls.

Try with an Indian IP.
