I have a couple accounts on different instances. Is there a way to easily switch between accounts within a single interface yet?

Jerboa on Android supports this in the slide out menu on the left

Right. Should have specified on PC, not android or iphone.

Most browsers have tab support. You can have a different instance on each tab, and switch between them all you want.

Well yeah. But that's a little clunky.

Just out of interest - what are you trying to do with multiple accounts?

You probably know already, but you only need one account to participate in multiple instances (as long as they haven't blocked federation)

Thanks. I do know that.

  1. If/when defederation happens, I want to have a solution. I don't want to depend on a single instance to handle it how I want.

  2. Throwaway accounts were a thing on Reddit for a reason. For the same reason, I'd like to have that option too.

Alright just wanted to make sure in case you don't know ;)

I have accounts on different instances as well for the same reasons as you.

How does this apply to the defederation of BeeHaw towards lemmy.world? I am on lemmy.world and can still view BeeHaw content. So I'm confused. If I go to !technology@beehaw.org, I can still post and comment.

edit: so clearly my confusion stems from my inability to understand the difference between !technology@beehaw.org and !technology on beehaw.org. They have the same posts and comments but !technology does not allow me to comment or post.

This post explained it comprehensively, if you want a longer read.

wow - I can't thank you enough for the redirection to that post. I don't know how I missed that post so far this morning. Thanks again.

I use the webapps (open in mobile browser and hit add to homescreen). Each instance is a different domain, so I can have each account as a separate icon on my homescreen

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
