what's the current go-to for multiple account Mastodon clients, preferably on Desktop but Android also if you have ideas. cc @anniemo71

@wait_sasha@scholar.social @jaz @anniemo71 @Tusky one multi-account feature I especially like is that you can open any post as the alt. And you can clearly see which account you are posting with. ♥️

I'm less certain why I have an alt in the first place. Seemed like a good idea at the time?

@wait_sasha@hachyderm.io @jaz @anniemo71 @Tusky because I often post "unlisted" by default that means replies are invisible without explicitly following the alt. ♥️💔🤣

I admit I still find UX here deeply confusing.

@jaz @anniemo71 I personally like Tusky a lot. And heard that Elk seems to do a good job.

@jaz Tusky (Android) has been lovely and supports multiple accounts! I don't have a desktop rec, but are you looking for something like the basic web interface where you'd swap btwn accts, or like advanced web where you could have columns from each displayed side by side? that'll change the answers that are helpful for you - I'm not sure any client does both :thinkingg:

@opal @jaz I'm also using tusky but what I really want is a single view for multiple accounts.

@opal Simple switching for me, no need for multiple open at once (not sure that's even possible in the same browser tab)

@opal @jaz Not unrelatedly, I'm still looking for a client like Twidere (which does work for Mastodon and Pleroma but isn't being updated anymore, and its successor TwidereX doesn't do this) just combines multiple accounts into one single chronological feed. I love that approach, but judging by the dearth of such apps I might be fairly alone in it, which is bizarre to me, I don't want to be switching between multiple different views of *any* sort just to read what could be a single chronological timeline of posts!

Megalodon is a dream. It took me minute to know how to switch accounts (hold pfp image in bottom right corner), but everything is really nice and smooth, and hashtag follows and lists are really nicely integrated without problems.

@jaz A nice alternate web frontend (rather than an app) for desktop is trunks.social/. They do a good Android app too. If you specifically want an app, the best I've found is Sengi - column interface like the "advanced view" and multi-account support.

trunks.socialtrunks.socialA cross platform mastodon client. Available on Android, iOS, Mac and Web.

@jaz@toot.wales @anniemo71@toot.wales Subway Tooter is great for multiple accounts but it's mostly limited to Mastodon- and Pleroma-based instances.

@jaz AndStatus (Android) has a very customizable timeline including multi-account combined, but post display is pretty basic - doesn't know about polls, local emoji, etc.
