I know C++ is compatible with C, but C++ has its own way of programming and C as well, so there are legacy things from C that shouldn’t be used in C++, the typedef is one of them? If yes, what to use instead of the typedef when programming in C++?

The typedef is one of the things C doesn’t use much in C++, but it depends on the situation.
The definition of a struct already is typedefed (every compound structure definition is already a type defined in the code) by C++ automatically, so there is no reason to use it in this situation, even if it is accepted by compatibility. The same goes for new language constructions that resemble.
And to create a alias type is recommended to adopt the using in place of typedef, at least in almost all situations. This is a more modern and better way.
What do you mean "typedefed"? It’s like if I write "struct minha_struct ms;" equals "my_struct ms;"? That’s it "typedefed"?
that’s right...
