Is there any Lemmy app/client that allows you to comment from a different account?
I remember Slide for Reddit allowed you to choose who to comment as before doing so.
Does this exist for Lemmy yet?

In lifftoff it is hidden feature. Under three dots -> view on another instance
you can reply from another account
Can confirm, this works!
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?
Moved from Liftoff to Thunder, it's been great
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.
What are your needs?
I'll be checking that out thanks.
Personally I enjoy Jerboa
Tried Jerboa again recently. Didn't love it but I'll probably check it out again at some point.
Voyager works pretty well for me.
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.
Voyager will get this feature in the next few days!

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
Oh, that works. Never noticed that.
Think Eternity can do it
Confirmed Eternity does it, thanks
Yep replying from eternity.
Edit: You have so much customisation. You have to tweak colors a bit for your liking.
~~Sync ~~did
support it, now you need to be in the account that you wanted to reply as before hand.Play store link: Sync for Lemmy
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?
Do you need to enable the setting anywhere? I'm not seeing it.
You need to be in the account you want to use before opening post.
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.
Eternity does
