disclaimer this is ass

this is just a proof of concept and it sucks and is garbage and very much a wip with broken parts literally everywhere i'll get to that


this PR implements multiple account support in the frontend, and account switching. for people who have two accounts on the same instance but don't want to use two firefox containers.

  • store keys of multiple accounts
  • clear notifs/timelines/friends when logging in to a new user or switching users
  • log back to the other account if logging out with 2+ accounts
  • replace every instance of getToken to expect an object, and not just a string
  • load the friends timeline when switching to an account
  • deal with the switcher erroring if not every user is loaded
  • get rid of the 2s where it looks like you're logged out
  • implement the register button
  • make this work without erasing cookies
  • make the code not FLAMING HOT ASS GARBAGE

what the fuck did i do with that comment im dumb im gonna have cofe

what the fuck did i do with that comment im dumb im gonna have cofe

i would advise against doing this as a whole

pleroma-fe was built as a single-account client and does not even use oauth most of the time

it doesn't, no, but that only makes the implementation easier, it seems
as long as you store all of the keys you can act as all accounts without constantly needing to figure out which account you are

meh, misskey has this and it's been a genuinely useful feature for bots and such

i mean i'm fine with not doing this it's a niche and it does add a lot of complexity

@sfr I think this would be a good change even if just for an instance admin, or you want to manage a few accounts like a bot account, a main, a close friends only vent account etc in a convenient manner. It doesn't have to support external accounts, even just as something for only local accounts it's a good change.

Currently I do it with firefox containers (one for each account) but it's honestly really inconvenient.
