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?

That's a feature, not a bug. If you find a worthwhile discussion, and have something to bring to it, just do it. No need to marry yourself to just the one instance. That's the beauty of federation, really.

An interesting take that I hadn’t considered. I still wish I had the option to toggle on/off the original source for the user and the magazine/community.
