What? That's not my experience at all; from my desktop, tablet, and/or mobile phone browser I can access all subreddits I'm interested in without having to be logged in, including the one you mentioned, /r/programming but also all of these:

android, askhistorians, biochemistry, c_programming, chemistry, compsci, design, embedded, freebsd, golang, haskell, java, javascript, linguistics, linux, math, mechanical_gifs, openbsd, physics, python, raspberry_pi, rust, statistics, sysadmin, vim, web_design ... and many more.

so not sure what you're doing to not be able to access said subreddit while being logged out.

If you go to the subreddit directly without googling for it. https://imgur.com/a/5ecdV1q

If you change the url from www.reddit.com/r/whatever to i.reddit.com or old.reddit.com I think you can access everything.
