Messaging on Reddit

Hi All,
I have been using Reddit quite a bit, and found it mostly accessible, one thing I've found tricky, even if still doable, was the chat function. I found the best way to activate the text field to type out a new message required screen recognition. I was wondering if there's a more accessible way to handle the chat function? I've tried the dystopia client, but the chat function requires me to re sign in again, and in that window, it asks for an email or username, but does not offer me a "sign in with Apple" option, which is what I use to sign into reddit.
Any tips?

I am a dystopia user. Unfortunately, I can't do the chat thing either.

Not sure if this helps but, you can retrieve the sign in with Apple email address under settings your name, sign in and security,sign in with Apple worst case scenario you can copy and paste the address into Dystopia/Reddit

I just use the Reddit app. When you open a chat with someone else and want to send a message, VO will tell you the text field is dimmed. However, you can type in it normally if you do a triple tap.
