Thats what I do. It's a strength of the fediverse, and most of the apps handle account swapping pretty seamlessly.

What apps do you recommend for swapping instances?

I have tried Jerboa and Connect. Both allow me to swap accounts from the main menu, but I am brought back to me default start view and not the community/thread I was looking at.

I really like Liftoff for this. You can choose instances on the fly while posting, searching, or reading comments without losing your spot.

It's really nice.

I love it too. In case you didn't know, you can just lurk on other instances without having to have an account by adding just the instance.

I noticed that, because I went to add my beehaw account that I had created when I joined Lemmy, but I guess beehaw deleted it for being inactive or something. Beehaw still shows up on my instance list, and I kind of wish I could remove it.

On your instances list long press Beehaw and the option to remove it will show up.
