That depends on how you want it. While I get your point and struggle with it myself, it shouldn’t really matter where the original is. The name after the title is mostly useful with pictures, videos and links. You’ll see where it is from, if it is reliable (who clicks sketchy links or reads fake news) and where you’re going when you click it. For articles, I agree it could be better. Maybe they’ll change it to make it more intuitive.
@Guadin What would make sense to me, is if the community name shown was the full community name. For example, I should show [email protected]” instead of just “Chat”. The fact that it only shows “chat”, and the only visible instance name is “kbin.social” makes things extra confusing.
And yes, I know you can get this information from a certain amount of clicking and scrolling, or from the sidebar which isn’t visible on mobile, but I see no reason why it couldn’t just show “@beehaw.org” after “Chat.”
Yes, that is actually a nice idea. Or keep the formatting as is (with magazine avatar and name) but add an icon for external magazines. Or maybe add the “(kbin.somethingelse)” text over there so it is extra clear that the originating instance is not the one you are currently using.
And besides that there are maybe ways to see the same information (albeit in a cumbersome way), ideas to make kbin/the fediverse better and more user friendly is always good. Getting into the fediverse is weird already (the whole concept is not really something people are used too, besides perhaps email), so better make all the rest a breeze.
