They only let you play local, hosted games on the Switch, which is a bit annoying, especially considering the Switch easily supports online playability - just look at Minecraft.
I don’t think it’s a porting issue either, especially considering the Mobile version seems to have no problems with allowing online playability.

There's a multiplayer mode on the home screen, but when I click on it, it doesn't display the same thing as on PC... When you select : multiplayer, you have to chose the player and it display this :

His game isn’t bugged at all, I experience the same thing. It’s just annoying how Switch players can’t play online, but other versions seem to be perfectly able to.

First, make sure you’re friends with whoever you want to play with.
Next if you’re hosting the world select “host,” choose the world you want to play in, and adjust the session settings. Then your friends will be able to join the world.
If you want to join a friends world they’ll have to follow the steps above. Once they’ve done so their world should show up on your screen.
I’m pretty sure this isn’t true anymore because now selecting “Multiplayer” requires Nintendo Switch Online. Not 100% sure though.

This is incorrect - my family and I literally have Nintendo Switch Online, and yet I still can’t play online.

Idk. It just seems weird that local multiplayer would require NSO, especially since local multiplayer on other games like Mario Kart don’t require NSO.

Damn sorry to hear that

Ok, I just checked the Official Terraria Discord Server and Switch players are sharing friend codes and playing online. I think there might be something wrong with your game, console, or internet @a really far away planet.

Huh. That’s very odd. I’ll have to look at that.

Here’s my question: my ps4 is currently under repairs and I want to play terraria online with my friend but I only have my switch. Will cross play work? We both have the online subscriptions on our seperate consoles so yeah. How do we do it?

It will not work because crossplay between consoles is not yet supported.
