It’s curious how one user is marked as “user@lemmy.ml” while others aren’t. I’ve checked that all users in the picture are from lemmy.ml.

That is because some have set a displayname in the user profile, and others not. If a displayname is set, that is shown by lemmy-ui, otherwise it shows @user@instance.

Btw I think that this is a very confusing experience for users.

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I agree. You can also see the @user@instance when you mouse over the username, but thats not obvious and doesnt work on mobile. If you have an idea how to improve this, you can open an issue.

Makes a lot of sense.

could be mitigated by cute autogenerated icons, like Identicons or Vanillicons

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

The question was about how usernames are shown, not related to icons at all.
