Hi I am looking for a accessible replacement to linked in (self.Blind)

OP the accessible version of linkedIn is essentially the desktop version, although I don't remember having a huge lot of issues with the app. Granted, it's been a while since I used said app.
Even if such a thing existed though, LinkedIn is the industry standard, so you would be rather isolated on whatever the accessible replacement would be.
Good idea to figure out ways to use the tech that is already there rather than get stuck in what is colloquially known as the blind ghetto.

I don’t think there is such a thing, and linked in is for blind people too.

Linked in is really bad on ios

It’s not an excuse to not use it though. Don’t use it on the phone than. You either have to learn to use it or report the inaccessibilities. So far it seems to be only you complaining. Plenty of blind people use it.
You also seem to have no issues with it.

With all due respect, I think you are being unnecessarily harsh toward OP. They are asking a reasonable enough question, even if they perhaps didn’t word it in the best way

Maybe a little. Just firm I suppose.

Desktop version is accessible.

LinkedIn is reasonably accessible in my experience. I’ve used it successfully on my desktop with NVDA and iPhone with voiceover. What kinds of things are you having trouble with?

I have found that Linkedin on Android is the most accessible. Unfortunately on IOS with voiceover there's just too many swipes to get through each of the news feed items. however I understand having a device specifically for linkedin Probably isn't ideal, just my two cents.
