Yup. Multiaccount is desperately needed in Element. Other Matrix clients (FluffyChat, Quaternion, possibly Nheko?) have it already though)... plus you can always cheat and just open Element in multiple browser tabs :)
I got around the single-account limitation on Element by installing a work profile on my Android phone using Shelter[1]. I initially spotted this from HN while we were looking at migrating from Slack to Matrix and I wanted to keep my personal account separate.
Works surprisingly well for my use-case (keep work stuff separate on Element) and even allows me to disconnect completely from work by simply turning off the profile.
Definitely not, I'd still preferr to have proper multi-account support over having to use a work profile on Android (or multiple profiles if using a browser).
yeah, I've done this too - it's pretty simple and effective for getting 2 accounts for anything. though it's a shame that it's only limited to 2, since it's not like all people have only 1 job...
... but it's quite far from actual multi-account support, so I do think that's still necessary :)
