   I've mostly been using the web version on my phone to access #Mastodon instead of an app, but I downloaded #Fedilab tonight and I gotta say... I do love the fact that I can follow local timelines from multiple instances with it. That's going to be very useful.

     Happy that you enjoy the app.
     You can add many accounts. And the power feature, just long press an action button like boost, like, bookmark, reply, etc. And you will be able to pickup another accounts to finish the action without switching.
     Thus, we will not lose what you were doing :)

     @grafo It's such a killer feature! I'm somebody who tends to want to see a wide variety of content, so while the upside of being on a smaller instance is a good local community, one of the downsides is the Federated timeline is kinda small and not always representative of my interests.... I have an account on a much larger server, but on there, the Federated timeline is way too much. Being able to follow local timelines of other instances is *so* helpful in being to find other folks who are talking about stuff I'm interested in.

     The only thing I'm finding to be a drawback with #Fedilab is it seems that I can only have one account linked to it... so if I want to reply to something with my other account I have to go use the web app... but other than that, it's great!

     And for adding a new account, just open the main menu and tap on your account name ;)

     Sure, it's planned. We have a ticket about that improvement, that might need some works especially due to features around themes. But that will be done.

     @apps I stand corrected about the multiple accounts then! I see why I missed how to do it. ?

     Also, the long press is BRILLIANT!

     You've really have thought about all the things that somebody might want to do.

     One suggestion I might make is it could be helpful to allow people to set themes per instance they're on. One thing I can see myself potentially doing is forgetting which instance I'm acting on and it would be useful for me to set one color theme for one instance and another for the other as a visual cue.
