While browsing my timeline, I noticed that there is currently no visual indicator showing whether I follow the profile that has published a post.

I would like to suggest adding an option or a visible badge on posts that clearly indicates when the profile is followed. This could appear directly on the post (for example, a subtle label such as “Followed profile” or a discreet icon).

Benefits of this improvement:

Instantly increase trust in the content being displayed
Make it easier to identify posts from followed profiles
Improve the browsing experience and the perceived relevance of the timeline
Reduce hesitation when deciding whether to view a post

This would be particularly useful in mixed feeds (followed content and recommendations), where the distinction is not always immediately clear.

Thank you for your work
