so i have a trick for you to go to the profile.
when you want to go to someone profile. press H and press until you get to a title of a post. then press up arrow and press k. you should here u/person press enter. then thats it. your now in there profile.
yeah i wish reddit would improve more there accessibility.

one thing I wish would work is d for landmark navigation, which does jump you around, but not to the side bar I think. It also should jump you to someone's actual profile thing, because for us, it is at the very bottom of the page, after the feed, which continues to autoload when using H, or heading level 2. So getting to someone's profile info to say, send them a private message, is a bit tricky .

You can also navigate by headings using the quick navigation key "h." It may not get you all the way there 100% of the time, but it does work in most cases.

yeah but headings brings you to the posts of that subreddit.
I.E when you go to r/blind and navigate using the headings it brings you to the most recent or upvoted or stickied post.

Well I'm not using the redesign. That may be most of the problem.

I use my down arrow or tab to navigate the links on the subreddits page. or, if I know there’s a table, i’ll use t to jump me to it.
