Now that federation works, we need more clarity of source (kbin.social)

I'm seeing the federated content, but it's hard to tell where the content came from. Currently, the only reliable way to see the source is by reading the URL when you're viewing a thread. It doesn't work well on mobile though and it doesn't work for the feed.

How work everyone feel if the magazine included the source always? So instead of saying kbinMeta, you'd see kbinMeta@kbin.social? Or would you prefer another solution?

I appreciate the point you are making, but here's a solid example of how it gets confusing.

ANNOUNCEMENT: defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

Who is defederating?

What I'd do is hover over the OPs name, or go into the post and check the URL. Yeah, it's different than what you're probably used to, but so is any new platform. It just takes some time to get familiar with it.

And neither works on mobile. So we're back to needing the information to be more accessible
