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.
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.

1:1 Refused to load manifest from 'https://lemmy.ml/static/assets/manifest.webmanifest' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "default-src 'none'". Note that 'manifest-src' was not explicitly set, so 'default-src' is used as a fallback.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
There is some problem with pictrs. Will probably take some time to investigate and fix this because of summer vacation.
Maybe @asonix@lemmy.ml knows how to fix it.
Yes hes looking into it.
Great.
yeah, Im getting 500s from pictrs. the devs probably need to restart the service or perform some other maintenance

could be mitigated by cute autogenerated icons, like Identicons or Vanillicons
The question was about how usernames are shown, not related to icons at all.
Btw I think that this is a very confusing experience for users.

I have the exact same problem on all of my devices. Weird…
This is the console message:
(with 8 images responding status 500)
You should check pictrs logs too
That console log is from visiting this
lemmy.ml
site. (I would though)
