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?

This is a kbin-specific issue lol. usernames have the instance hidden until you hover over them. the magazines all have their instance clearly marked in both the top banner and on the sidebar. However, if you @ tag a magazine, the instance gets hidden (same for users). IMO this should be toggleable but I agree I'd like to see it without having to hover over it and whatnot.
