Is there any Lemmy app/client that allows you to comment from a different account?

I remember Slide for Reddit allowed you to choose who to comment as before doing so.

Does this exist for Lemmy yet?

In lifftoff it is hidden feature. Under three dots -> view on another instance
you can reply from another account
- Can confirm, this works!
  
  Bear in mind Liftoff is probably going to stop working with Lemmy 0.19 so don't get too attached to it 😢
Voyager will get this feature in the next few days!
- 👀
Most apps support multi-account but I think what the OP is asking for is the ability to switch account just for replying on a post/comment and for that reply only or when composing a post in a community, while continuing to use the main account afterwards.
Boost for lemmy is what I use. Just add your accounts and then change the account.
- Eternity does that too, when you click on the comment button you can change the account from within the comment
  
  Oh, that works. Never noticed that.
Think Eternity can do it
- Yep replying from eternity.
  Edit: You have so much customisation. You have to tweak colors a bit for your liking.
- Confirmed Eternity does it, thanks
~~Sync ~~did ~~support it~~, now you need to be in the account that you wanted to reply as before hand.
Play store link: Sync for Lemmy
- Do you need to enable the setting anywhere? I'm not seeing it.
  
  You need to be in the account you want to use before opening post.
- Wait, it does? I remember Sync for Reddit did but I don't see it here.

  You are correct change who you are posting as at commenting time, is not a feature.
Summit lets you switch user from most pages, so I can switch user when reading these comments but not actually while typing the comment
- Yeah, I mean changing accounts right before writing the comment would work. Doesn't need to be able to switch in the middle of writing the comment.
Eternity does
