For example, Beehaw defederated from sh.itjust.works and I have an account with both. If I’m on my sh.it account and browsing the beehaw feed it’d be nice if when I tried to comment it would automatically post from my Beehaw account instead of giving an error.

For an example of how this could be implemented see Liftoff. One issue I have with their implementation though is additional accounts. If I have a lemmy.ca account as well I’d still rather comment from sh.itjust.works if that’s where I’m signed in since they’re federated anyway.

I prefer Sync so I’ve just been switching to my Beehaw account when I want to participate there but now that I can view the feed without switching it would be nice if participation was streamlined.

I know this is a specific use case. Would anyone else benefit from something like this? Any ideas on implementation?

Thank you for your work LJ.
