I love the app, but I’ve added a handful of accounts, and the app’s handling of this is strange.

First:

Despite which account I’m logged into within liftoff, any comments I make seem to default to whichever of my accounts matches the instance of the OP. So, if I’m logged into my lemmy.ml account, and I comment on a post made by someone from lemm.ee to lemmy.world, it posts under my lemm.ee account because it matches the OP’s instance.

*Edit: I think I was reading this wrong. It’s not the OP’s instance, but rather whichever instance it was sourced from. So, lemmy.ee /All vs lemmy.world /All. So that makes a little more sense, but it’s still ignoring the account that I’ve logged in as.

I’m curious to see which one it uses for this post, since I’m logged in under Lemm.ee, but this is a lemmy.world community.

Second:

Browsing by All/Hot is using all of my accounts’ subscriptions, rather than all of Lemmy. It’s like it’s expecting each account to only be subbed to its own instance’s communities, which isn’t how the fediverse is meant to be used. This results in a couple of weird behaviors.

The first 12 or so posts on my front page are always the pinned messages for EVERY instance in which I have an account.

I’ll see most posts 6+ times because my accounts share some subscriptions… So if they’re all subbed to the same lemmy.world meme community, then that floods my feed with the same meme for every account that I have added to Liftoff.

*edit 2: Maybe this was a bug, because an app restart seems to have mostly resolved the duplicates too! I’m still a little unclear about why I would choose an account on the profile screen when it auto-switches based on which instance’s filter I’m using though. But now that I know that it does, I think this will work well for me!

I love the look and feel of this app, but I think I’m going to have to log out of all but one account to make it usable in the meantime.
