And fuck off whoever that tells me again to set up my own instance. What I want is popular instance admins and mods to pull out the stick out of their asses, because free speech instances that get defederated at the speed of light are of no use.
And there’s no seamless multiaccount Lemmy client yet.
I want a client that can be logged on to multiple accounts at once and display a unified feed of all of them.
If I had to guess, it’s that someone wants to keep content that Account 1 deals with separate from content that Account 2 deals with without needing to manually flip back and forth.
Like, someone may not want to associate their identity on [email protected] with their identity on [email protected], in much the same way that in real life, they (presumably) wouldn’t have videos of the latter playing in their office when talking with people about the former.
Yeah, I get the separation thing. That’s why I don’t get wanting to combine them top Lol.
If I had a clean account that I might sometimes use at work, the LAST thing I’d want would be for it to seamlessly combine with my porn alt or whatever lol
Well, yeah, but I was thinking less about “browsing the Threadiverse in the office”, and more “person is at home and wanting all the content at once”. Like, the concern is less people who are physically present and more that one wants to keep online relationships separate.
I mean, I dunno. I can understand the idea, at any rate. I’ve posted (pretty tame) AI-generated pornography when aiming to highlight that Stable Diffusion’s regional prompting feature could be used to generate porn, and remember thinking “eh, it might be a good idea to stick this on a separate account”, but didn’t ultimately care enough. But I can definitely see someone wanting to separate spheres of of their online life. I mean, to greater or lesser extent, people act differently with their parents, their coworkers, their kids, their spouse, etc. It’d be a little odd if things were different online.
It would be the closest to bypass defederation client-side.
Sounds like there’d be a lot of overlap and confusion…
Not if the client was properly designed. Content ovelap/duplication could be handled by prioritizing one instance over others, and if two accounts have acces to the same instance, there could be a prompt letting you to choose the account to post from or also an option to prioritize accounts.
free speech instances that get defederated at the speed of light are of no use.
I use lemmy.today. The instance policy there is to try to avoid any defederation, and thus far, it has an empty blocklist.
Now, that doesn’t mean that there won’t also be instances that will defederate with your favorite instance. But, you know, people aren’t required to listen. You can only speak to people who want to hear what you want to say. I think that that’s probably really the only reasonable way for things to work. I mean, even user-level user blocking and choosing what communities to view is a form of filtering content.
Fucking mods, this is Reddit all over again.

Seriously though you’re making demands that other people work for free in a manner that will benefit you.
Way I see it, either take some of the free lunch that’s on offer or make your own.
…except all of them. At least for Android.
Here’s the one’s I’ve used with seamless multiaccount functionality: Liftoff (RIP), Jerboa, Thunder, Connect, Boost, and Voyager
Sync too, but I only used it briefly because fuck ads.
Yeah… no. Jerboa has no seamless multiaccount. You can have multiple accounts in Jerboa, but you have to switch from one to another.
I want a client that can be logged on to multiple accounts at once and display a unified feed of all of them. Technically complex, but not impossible.
I was indeed told about Liftoff before, but doesn’t seem to work with instances such as lemm.ee
…why would you want that? Sounds like there’d be a lot of overlap and confusion…
