Description
The Mixed timeline is great! I sometimes follow the same account on two (or more) of my own accounts, so their post shows up multiple times in the timeline. This isn't in itself a problem for me. However, if I want to boost/favourite/bookmark the post, it isn't immediately obvious which timeline the post belongs to. I can currently see it by hitting "reply" and looking at what account I'm replying with, then just closing the dialog. (Or bookmarking and seeing which account's bookmarks it shows up in.)
Are there plans to add a feature to colour-code posts according to account (like Twidere had), or otherwise indicate what timeline they come from?
Not urgent, just wondering.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how the Mixed timeline presents posts and how reply, boost, favourite, and bookmark actions determine the active account. Decide on one clear source-account indicator, then verify that it remains understandable when the same post appears for multiple accounts and that actions use the indicated account.
