It's confusing for new users, and this instance in particular has 7k users but no interactions. It's a bot army, with the top user being called @admin.
Extremely shady and misleading.

for other instances it's name will appear as :
@admin@Podycust...so not such a big dealKbin doesn't display the instance someone is on unless you click on their username for some reason. It's not a great design choice for a federated platform.
Today I've learned (TiL) ! thanks 🙂
if original poster (OP) had posted there instead of in lemmy.world ... would have been better ... yet not a big deal 😌
I don't use kbin so I couldn't have known, sorry.
You are right, I'm getting confused
... and I need a coffee 😋 !
+1 on that coffee!
Conversely and interestingly, it seems Lemmy doesn't show the instance of people that are on Kbin, but it also doesn't show the @ before username for them so they're still distinguishable (for example you show up as just EatALime, while the one you're repling to shows as @A_A and someone on another instance like lemm.ee would show as @@lemm.ee.)
