Options to see instance next to usernames? (kbin.social)

One thing I'm missing on kbin versus Beehaw is that when I'm looking at comments, I can't quickly discern what instance a person is coming from. I have to hover over them on desktop or click into their profile on mobile to tell. This can be an important piece of information in interacting, since it can tell you if the person is on the same instance as you or if they're coming from a particular context (lemmygrad or a troll or right-wing community, for example).

I know kbin originally wasn't federated so this wasn't an issue but now that it is, it would be really useful to have as a setting or a default now. Thanks for your consideration!

indeed. the admin here (ernest) iirc mentioned he will add support to show the instance for users/magazines.
