You can dump the firmware and hardware decryption keys to allow an emulator like Yuzu or Ryujinx to impersonate your Switch and let you play online from a PC. You can also dump your saves and games so you could play your exact same files on an emulator.
Besides that, there's CFW, homebrew apps, you could install Android and dual boot, there's game mods you can run on the Switch hardware instead of in an emulator, you can run emulators that have been ported to Switch (PS1, DS, etc)
Be aware, however, Nintendo is aggressive with banning, so mod at your own risk.
Just block Nintendo servers when running modded to make sure you don't get banned. This guide can help you: https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/extras/blocking_nintendo/
Agreed, it's just best not to assume everyone knows how to do that or that they ought to
If you know how to hack your switch, you should also know how to not get banned
I disagree. It's best not to assume that, especially when it's someone who is actively asking for advice.
You're right, I edited my original comment to include advice on how to do this
