In lifftoff it is hidden feature. Under three dots -> view on another instance
you can reply from another account

Bear in mind Liftoff is probably going to stop working with Lemmy 0.19 so don't get too attached to it ๐Ÿ˜ข

Is the project actually dead or is this an assumption based on lack of recent updates? I'm using liftoff and have been wondering about its future.

[-] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

A couple of people have tried to get in touch with the dev to no avail. It's already broken for users on the couple of servers that are using 0.19 so only a matter of time for the rest of us, it seems.

Thanks for the reply. Sucks to hear it since it's been the best app for me so far. Any app recommendations for a replacement?

[-] mayst0ne@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Moved from Liftoff to Thunder, it's been great

Used Thunder a while back. I'll check in on it again sometime.

[-] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

There's a thread in !liftoff@lemmy.world where people are recommending their fave replacement but tbh pretty much every app gets at least one mention, which one is best probably depends on your priorities!

None of them really meet all my needs (neither did Liftoff, I had to combine it with Summit), so I'm trying to help out by testing !raccoonforlemmy@lemmy.world in the hopes that it could become my holy grail.

  • Good support for multiple accounts
  • Easy on the eyes, which means among other stuff none of that forced solid black background stuff as it gives me a headache
  • Customisable text for similar reasons to the above
  • Easy to post & reply & generally interact with people (some apps make it real difficult to continue a convo from your inbox, for example)
  • Basic mod capabilities
  • Multi-communities are a big bonus (this is why I keep Summit installed)

Generally I prefer more features over slick looks which I think is where a lot of people go the other way. Probably depends if you post a lot or are more of a scroller. I currently have 11 apps installed so will just keep testing them all out until one wins, lol.

I'll be checking that out thanks.

Tried Jerboa again recently. Didn't love it but I'll probably check it out again at some point.

[-] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

It's definitely a bit rough around the edges but personally I like it more than most of the others I've tried

It's developed by the main Lemmy dev as far as I understand. Closest thing to an 'official' app we've got. But other apps just suit me better ATM. I'm still testing different apps now and then since the apps are still rapidly being developed and dying out. Settled on Liftoff initially, but I remember liking Thunder and so far Raccoon is looking promising.

[-] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I do want to branch out again trying other apps as Jerboa (while nice) I feel is lacking a bit

It's functional enough but kinda meh

I like the UI though

Yeah it seems a little spartan. But, it's probably going to be the most up-to-date whenever there is an update to Lemmy itself since it's the same dev.

[-] pizzawithdirt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Voyager works pretty well for me.

I use that as a secondary client from time to time. It's very good as well.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I don't think there's been any confirmation but with a breaking update looming it's not looking promising.

[-] DieguiTux8623@feddit.it 11 points 1 year ago

Most apps support multi-account but I think what the OP is asking for is the ability to switch account just for replying on a post/comment and for that reply only or when composing a post in a community, while continuing to use the main account afterwards.

[-] aeharding@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Voyager will get this feature in the next few days!

Boost for lemmy is what I use. Just add your accounts and then change the account.

[-] ConstipatedWatson@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Eternity does that too, when you click on the comment button you can change the account from within the comment

[-] pacjo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

Oh, that works. Never noticed that.

[-] florge@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago
[-] Dark_Dragon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yep replying from eternity.

Edit: You have so much customisation. You have to tweak colors a bit for your liking.

[-] hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Confirmed Eternity does it, thanks

[-] Eideen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

~~Sync ~~did ~~support it~~, now you need to be in the account that you wanted to reply as before hand.

Play store link: Sync for Lemmy

[-] hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Do you need to enable the setting anywhere? I'm not seeing it.

[-] Eideen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You need to be in the account you want to use before opening post.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Wait, it does? I remember Sync for Reddit did but I don't see it here.

[-] Eideen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You need to be in the account you want to use before opening post.

You are correct change who you are posting as at commenting time, is not a feature.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

You mean the "attempt to load post from your instance" thing?

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Summit lets you switch user from most pages, so I can switch user when reading these comments but not actually while typing the comment

[-] hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I mean changing accounts right before writing the comment would work. Doesn't need to be able to switch in the middle of writing the comment.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Eternity does
