Multiaccount interaction
What happens
I have 2 accounts (one on Mastodon, one on Pleroma) that follow the same accounts. I have the same TL on both, so I'd want to only have one column. But for followers-only posts, trying to interact with them from the other account leads to "Account can't access this post".
Expected behaviour
We should be able to interact with followers-only posts from accounts we follow, even on timelines from other accounts.

Hi!
That's something that could be possible between 2 mastodon accounts, unfortunately currently it won't be the case from a pleroma instance: from my testing, searching a follower-only post from pleroma doesn't work (don't return anything), even if the account is following the post's author.
From mastodon, we could keep a list of followings somewhere and lock (or not) the icons depending on it, but that's not trivial either.
Those uses cases are really a huge rise in complexity to get it done, unfortunately. 😕
I just tried on my end, and for Mastodon posts you are correct. (and I think that's a bug on either pleroma or mastodon's end) But for pleroma/misskey/... posts, as far as I can tell, searching for a followers-only post works for both Mastodon and Pleroma. So if that's the easiest way for you, I think it'd be good enough.
I do think that keeping an offline list would be better, since it would make less burden on the server. But I understand if that's complex and you don't want to do it.
I feel as though I have issues with using sengi and I am trying to find existing issues that would contain fixes to my issues. But I am new to m and am not sure I understand some base concepts.
In another issue, @NicolasConstant said:
It's not possible and in way, against the idea of Sengi in the first place: the multi-accounts functionality is mainly to be able to interact with an account X on a TL from an account Y.
(this is really deep in Sengi DNA since it's not a trivial thing to do on the Fediverse)
Perhaps this is why it is so difficult to post in sengi and know what account you might be posting to. Or, since it seems to only post from the first account one added, how to post from any other account.
But my issue with columns is this. I have two accounts active (accounts A and B), so I seem to have 6 columns available: A-Home, A-Local, A-Federated, B-Home, B-Local, B-Federated.
Would it make sense to have all 6 open?
I think that what I actually want is: (A/B/merged)-Home, (A/B/merged)-Local, (A/B/merged)-Federated.
Would this make sense? But then I would want a single click, in each column, to toggle me between (see only one/see only other/see merged). Would this make sense?
I think that in each column, there should be a small pick-list of columns with a 'select all' option, yes?
Or do I have some profound misunderstanding of how m works?

Every action in Sengi is made through the selected account (the one that isn't semi-transparent), to change the selected account just click on the avatar.
Columns today are separated per account, but there are issues about merging them, like #553
