For a long while, I’ve been wishing that the federation awareness tool in Kbin Enhancement Suite (KES) applied to microblog posts and activity pages, so I decided to make that in the form of a userstyle!
This userstyle adds 4 different colored indicators next to usernames:
- magenta — on your instance
- dark purple* — on another Kbin/Mbin instance
- yellow — on some other instance
- red** — on a highly moderated instance
These will appear on threads, crossposts, microblog posts, comments, activity pages, sidebars, and the collections page, but each of these can be disabled in settings.
* This is based on a quick list of common Kbin/Mbin instances I came up with. If you find that an instance isn’t included but should be, let me know.
** This is based on the list that KES uses.
1.0.0
- There is now a colored indicator next to each user to show if they’re on your instance, another recognized Kbin/Mbin instance, a highly moderated instance, or some other instance. The colors can be changed in settings.
- Whether these indicators appear in threads, thread comments, crossposts, microblog posts, microblog replies, activity lists, sidebars, and the collections page can each be toggled in settings.
1.0.1
- fedia.io has been added to the list of Kbin/Mbin instances. No idea how I missed it before.

Why not submit a PR if you feel it should be expanded?
I guess a lack of knowledge about that process and not finding it worth it to make the attempt. In the future, I’ll make sure to do that if I have ideas for KES.
You’re welcome to ask for guidance and I’ll do my best to walk you through the process. If you think that a current feature is lacking (or the process itself is vague), I think it’s worthwhile to expand upon/improve it rather than reduplicating efforts. But I understand where you are coming from.
