I have three accounts at different Lemmy instances. I can set up and successfully log into any of these individually through Connect for Lemmy.

However, if I set up all three and try and switch between them I get an error message saying:

“An error occurred while switching.”

Does anyone else have this issue?

I have all 3 set up on Liftoff and I can instantly switch between accounts. I prefer Connect, but the account switching issue is keeping me on Liftoff :(

Any tips on why I might be getting this error?

      Hi there,

      I was able to work out the issue, but it might be of interest to you.

      You can log in either with your username or email address. Either worked fine to login via the Connect app.

      However, for some reason, when I had my lemmy.world account setup with my email address as the login, it caused issues switching back to the account once I switched away. The only way to go back to it was to sign out and then add the account again.

      So I reset the app and set up both accounts with the login as my username instead of my signup email. Now I can freely switch between accounts.

        Ah I’m switching based on username I think and it’s trying to find the account with the username matching the email! Good feedback thanks!

          No worries. Thanks for the great app. It’s now gotten to the point that it more or less has everything I really want.
