Multipos

Multipos is a social media meta-client to browse multiple platforms from a single app.

Currently only Bluesky and Mastodon are supported.

If you get no keyboard you need to install the `maliit` package for Qt5!

Installation

At the moment the only supported way to install Multipos is by first installing Angelfish for Qt5 from Chum.

These steps assume a freshly installed SailfishOS. If you are a regular on this forum you will probably have Storeman, Chum and maybe even Angelfish already installed.

• from Storeman install: `SailfishOS:Chum GUI Installer`
• in Chum settings set "Override the automatic SaifishOS:Chum repository selection" to `4.6` and press Enter to apply it!
• in Chum search for "Angelfish" in Applications and install it
• install Multipos

Features

• platforms: Mastodon and Bluesky
• posting to multiple platforms at once
  • attaching images to posts (the file dialog is desktop Linux on mobile :sweat_smile:)
• timelines
• replying
• reposting (also from one platform to another)
• liking
• bookmarking
• following
• notifications (in-app only)

Known Issues

• Having more than one account on the same platform is, not yet!, supported.  This is not at all tested.
  • So having a Mastodon and Bluesky account is fine, but having two Mastodon accounts will give undefined behavior.
• Encoding issues when crossposting.
• Crossposting doesn't work very well with multiple accounts on the same platform: it just uses the first account.
• Changing light/dark doesn't affect checkbox text that's on-screen.
• When adding accounts they're not checked for valid credentials.
• Accounts cannot be edited but only deleted.
• Credentials are stored in Qt.Settings, needs looking into whether this is the proper place.
• No video support: this adds a huge amount of libraries and dependencies and I am not ready for that headache yet.
  • video's will be opened in your browser
• Following and unfollowing when multiple accounts for the same platform are active is confusing.
• Qt5: when Qt6 is reliably available for SailfishOS we'll switch to that
