I remember Slide for Reddit allowed you to choose who to comment as before doing so.

Does this exist for Lemmy yet?

        Bear in mind Liftoff is probably going to stop working with Lemmy 0.19 so don’t get too attached to it 😢

          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.

            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?

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

                There’s a thread in [email protected] 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 [email protected] in the hopes that it could become my holy grail.

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

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

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

    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.

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

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

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

        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.

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

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

      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.
