Right now, I'm using my RSS reader lol. Normally, I just use the Reddit website. I'm a purist, I like open web things.

Wicked can you recommend RSS readers for Mac and iOS please? :-)

Well I use a web-based one called Simple RSS Reader. https://simplerssreader.com/
I mostly believe in using the web for things. I do use a client for my email because I get a lot of mail from lists lol.

I use Safari on MacOS with VoiceOver and Chrome on Windows with NVDA for reddit browsing. Haven't got the hang of the new reddit layout yet so I use the old one. I had the same problem as you when I went blind: thought that reddit was inaccessible due to lacking semantics but then figured that I could just tap from the Jump to Content link to quickly find post titles. I also find that the browsing experience is better on Windows with NVDA than on MacOS with VoiceOver.

What’s baconreader I just use voiceover on the app?

It’s another reddit app.
I’m using distopea beta, it’s another reddit client but this one is made from the start for voiceover users.

And how can I get it on iOS?
bradley22 2 points 3y ago
Go to the app store, tap on search and write in bacon reader then tap on search.
You’ll find it.
As for distopea, it’s in beta and will be released in about 2 months as far as I know.
Bookmark applevis.com on your laptop for accessible apps.
