Why does Kbin show posts from Lemmy instances with a source of kbin.social? The post in this image is from reddit@lemmy.ml, but it says kbin.social in the parentheses.

That's because it's an Article type and there is no redirection happening. I have it in the issues, it will be fixed.

Cheers, to me (as a new user) when I see that it says it's from kbin but it's actually from elsewhere it becomes pretty confusing.

It would be great if there was a way to see at a glance where the content is coming from.

For now there are userscripts to fix this (and improve many other things, too!). I use and recommend this one: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468612-kbin-enhancement-script

Once installed (using a browser extension such as Tampermonkey), the settings are located under the settings icon at the top of the kbin sidebar.
