Who am I posting/commenting as? (lemmy.zip)

I'm writing this from the post page. Nothing here tells me who I'm signed in as. Same thing for comments. If I want to find out that answer, I have to back out all the way to the timeline. I wish when I was making additive actions like posting and commenting that I could see which account I have selected. "Posting as ..." Or "Commenting as ..." gray and out of the way or something.

I know it'd be problematic to have an account chooser present there because you may be on one account that can view a particular post and switch to an account that doesn't federate that instance, but knowing is good enough for me.

That's half the problem. The half I don't do.
