@Guadin I can only speak for myself, but seeing “kbin.social” as the “source” of a post because the “source” it’s referring to is a local copy is actually counterintuitive and confusing. If a post was made in Lemmy.world, it should say Lemmy.world. Otherwise, it is not providing information that is useful in anyway. After your explanation, yes, of course it would make sense that a post from other instance has a copy here in my local instance, but isn’t that just something we can just assume? Especially since nowhere else on the post (while viewing my feed) does it indicate which instance the post is from (you have to either click on the post and scroll past all the comments, click on the community name and scroll past all the posts on the first page—impossible if you’ve enabled infinite scrolling—or do some shit with copying and pasting a url that I don’t want to bother doing because I should just be able to tell where a post is from by looking at it. I don’t think I’m being unreasonable.)

The problem goes in how you would change the coding on that, since it's based on how the fediverse works.

To see the original ite it's from I look at the magazine on the sidebar below the thread stats, that'll tell you where it comes from.

Sigh…there’s no sidebar on mobile. Does nobody else here use mobile?

If you are on kbin you can access the sidebar info on mobile by tapping the three bars/‘hamburger’ icon at the top left of the page once you are in a thread.

Thank you. I don’t know why I was expecting the sidebar to be a literal sidebar.
