I am curious about the various Android Lemmy clients available, specifically which ones allow users to switch between instances or accounts. I am interested in the ability to view different local feeds across multiple instances seamlessly. If you have any recommendations, I would love to hear your thoughts!

I don't think I've tried a client that doesn't. I just assumed they all do at this point.

Pretty sure most of them by now.

I know Summit, Connect, and Voyager all do. Summit is my primary app.

Thunder also supports multiple accounts.

I believe Jerboa has support for multiple accounts.

I use Boost and it can switch between accounts and instances.

With the remark that it's buggy, you tap on a notification and it switches you to the wrong account

It is? 😒

I'm familiar with two:

I'm pretty sure both allow multiple accounts, but I'm not sure how smoothly you can switch between them, because I don't use multiple accounts.

[–] surjomukhi@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

most of them support quick switching between instances. i use thunder. it even has a option to quick switch account on a post

[–] alecsargent@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Yah, account switching in Thunder is very convenient.
