I'm waiting for an account switcher like Sync has. You could log in to one, type a comment and before submitting choose one of your other logged in accts to comment from.

Pretty sure Jerboa on Android has the ability to add multiple accounts.

It does. But what I want is say I'm browsing using one account and I see a post. I'd like the option of commenting from one of my other signed in accounts without logging into it and navigating to the thread again

This is how sync works.

Been using sync for years and didn't even know this was a feature ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Maybe it's a pro feature idk. When writing a comment the sync buttons above your keyboard, the one that looks two people. Tap it and it let's you choose what account to temporarily post from.

I see, and understand the point you were making with your original comment now. It's only a matter of time before we get other app alternatives that add these features. Maybe the Sync devs will be releasing a Lemmy client following the implementation of Reddit's API changes.

You are suggesting we make the app better suited to astroturfing?

That's going to come back to bite us.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

What? No. Maybe I wasn't clear with what I wrote. Can you explain what you mean and how you got that from my comment?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They may be thinking that you were suggesting a tool that would allow multiple accounts on a server (which would promote sock-puppeting). I assume that when you said "account" you meant "server" (with a single account).

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Ah, I see how that could have been unclear. Thank you.

[โ€“] SpaceNoodle -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oof, inbuilt sock-puppeting support. Not a great look.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

If someone really wants to do that then a lack of this feature isn't going to stop them.
