Multipos

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

Currently only Bluesky and Mastodon are supported.

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

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.
• Reactions feel clunky sometimes and sometimes fail, you can just try again.
• 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.
• 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
