    I want a client that can be logged on to multiple accounts at once and display a unified feed of all of them.

    …why would you want that? Sounds like there’d be a lot of overlap and confusion…

      I want a client that can be logged on to multiple accounts at once and display a unified feed of all of them.

      If I had to guess, it’s that someone wants to keep content that Account 1 deals with separate from content that Account 2 deals with without needing to manually flip back and forth.

      Like, someone may not want to associate their identity on !cs_career_questions@programming.dev with their identity on !femdom@lemmynsfw.com, in much the same way that in real life, they (presumably) wouldn’t have videos of the latter playing in their office when talking with people about the former.

        Yeah, I get the separation thing. That’s why I don’t get wanting to combine them top Lol.

        If I had a clean account that I might sometimes use at work, the LAST thing I’d want would be for it to seamlessly combine with my porn alt or whatever lol

          Well, yeah, but I was thinking less about “browsing the Threadiverse in the office”, and more “person is at home and wanting all the content at once”. Like, the concern is less people who are physically present and more that one wants to keep online relationships separate.

          I mean, I dunno. I can understand the idea, at any rate. I’ve posted (pretty tame) AI-generated pornography when aiming to highlight that Stable Diffusion’s regional prompting feature could be used to generate porn, and remember thinking “eh, it might be a good idea to stick this on a separate account”, but didn’t ultimately care enough. But I can definitely see someone wanting to separate spheres of of their online life. I mean, to greater or lesser extent, people act differently with their parents, their coworkers, their kids, their spouse, etc. It’d be a little odd if things were different online.

      It would be the closest to bypass defederation client-side.

      Sounds like there’d be a lot of overlap and confusion…

      Not if the client was properly designed. Content ovelap/duplication could be handled by prioritizing one instance over others, and if two accounts have acces to the same instance, there could be a prompt letting you to choose the account to post from or also an option to prioritize accounts.

      It’s complex but doable.
