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.

    Kbin 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.

      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 @<username>@lemm.ee.)
