Is there any Lemmy app/client that allows you to comment from a different account? (lemmy.world)

I remember Slide for Reddit allowed you to choose who to comment as before doing so.

Does this exist for Lemmy yet?

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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.

I'll be checking that out thanks.

What are your needs?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago
  • Good support for multiple accounts
  • Easy on the eyes, which means among other stuff none of that forced solid black background stuff as it gives me a headache
  • Customisable text for similar reasons to the above
  • Easy to post & reply & generally interact with people (some apps make it real difficult to continue a convo from your inbox, for example)
  • Basic mod capabilities
  • Multi-communities are a big bonus (this is why I keep Summit installed)

Generally I prefer more features over slick looks which I think is where a lot of people go the other way. Probably depends if you post a lot or are more of a scroller. I currently have 11 apps installed so will just keep testing them all out until one wins, lol.

Voyager works pretty well for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I use that as a secondary client from time to time. It's very good as well.

Personally I enjoy Jerboa

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Tried Jerboa again recently. Didn't love it but I'll probably check it out again at some point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's definitely a bit rough around the edges but personally I like it more than most of the others I've tried

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's developed by the main Lemmy dev as far as I understand. Closest thing to an 'official' app we've got. But other apps just suit me better ATM. I'm still testing different apps now and then since the apps are still rapidly being developed and dying out. Settled on Liftoff initially, but I remember liking Thunder and so far Raccoon is looking promising.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I do want to branch out again trying other apps as Jerboa (while nice) I feel is lacking a bit

It's functional enough but kinda meh

I like the UI though

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah it seems a little spartan. But, it's probably going to be the most up-to-date whenever there is an update to Lemmy itself since it's the same dev.
