Are there any Mastodon web apps that support using multiple accounts at the same time _over the same instance_?

@amoroso do you use Firefox as a browser? Use the containers extension ( addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef ) and open each account on its own container, on the same webapp. Might solve your problem.

@jt_rebelo That's interesting, I do indeed use Firefox.

@amoroso if it doesn't work, tell me so I can try to find another way (apart from two different internet browsers).

@amoroso I suspect most will. I assume you concluded they don't because when you try to authenticate the second account and you get redirected to the instance to give oauth access, you're already logged in.
But in fact you can log out mastodon and still have phanpy (or any other web app) still keep a valid token.
Adding a second account after logging out the first should work. I don't have two accounts on any instance to test but I tested as far as the logout step.

@signaleleven Does this work with keeping two accounts simultaneously signed in to the same instance in separate tabs?

@amoroso I use it a as a PWA so I don't know. I'll test quickly now. Otherwise two Firefox profiles are the way to go.

@amoroso IceShrimp does.
