FEATURE REQUEST:

  • let users store cookies for multiple accounts on same instance
  • implement simple dropdown to switch between accounts in "keyring"

Tweetdeck (a product of Twitter) is friendly to letting their users switch between accounts easily, or even make one post from multiple accounts at once. Wouldn't it be really cool if Pleroma users could painlessly switch between their accounts?

(that is, a user could have an @'home account, @'nsfw account, @'work account, @'school account , each with their own visibility settings and follow lists etc)

seems like a simple thing to implement with a lot of positive effect

I am not even sure MSTDN does this.

[ user1]
[ user2]
[ user3]
[ user4]     [switch] 
  ^ dropdown   ^ submit button

There could be some icon with 2 people (maybe one in front, one behind; one bright, one dark) to the right of a user's "@user" in the top left panel, at the user-summary, bottom-line

clicking the icon manifests the dropdown + button beneath the user-screen-name. there could be a "switch" button and cancel "X" icon

I'm not sure if it makes a lot of sense because people generally use multiple accounts on different servers, meanwhile PleromaFE can connect to only one, and CSP would most likely not allow it to connect to another server...

another problem would be switching timelines and keeping context of which user asks for content, i.e. if you look at locked account's posts with user A you'll see some posts but see different posts as account B because of following/non-following states. It would be a mess to filter out stuff properly without reloading everything or using something like "maximum permission mode" where we'd show everything we can get with all users available.

Not to mention IF we somehow add support for connecting to other instance that would bring in more inconsistencies because different instances see fediverse differently (different MRF/blocking rules, different versions, different latencies and following lists)

I think this is out of scope for now and should be closed
