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?

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.

[–] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

There's a thread in !liftoff@lemmy.world 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 !raccoonforlemmy@lemmy.world in the hopes that it could become my holy grail.

Personally I enjoy Jerboa

[–] Contort3860@links.hackliberty.org 0 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.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 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

[–] Contort3860@links.hackliberty.org 1 points 11 months ago

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.
