Hello all. I signed up for Reddit a while ago but couldn't figure out how to even create a new post. Obviously, I know how to do that now. This was one of the first subreddits I joined, as I am totally blind. Does anyone have further tips I could use for navigating around Reddit? Thanks in advance.

If you use NVDA, when reading through a thread, you can just press N to skip to the next comment.

No problem.

If you haven't done this already. make sure you are on the old reddit. I've just heard that the new layout isn't accessible. I don't know myself, since i'm not totally blind and don't use a screen reader to navigate it, but my colour inversion plugin gets confused by the new layout for some reason.

I've been told that Bacon Reader for iOS is pretty good for Reddit.

This is true. If you have an IPhone or IPad you should definitely get bacon reader. Welcome to the subreddit and happy reddditing.

You might want to bookmark your unread messages page.
When you're on a subreddit, find the downvote buttton, then find the link underneath it, now you can press tab to jump between links on the subreddit.
