Sidebar: avatar above name looks odd #326

This looks a bit weird layout-wise, there's all this whitespace next to the avatar but the name is below:

I'd maybe try moving name and avatar up next to the avatar?

Also, the @username@server.tld format looks pretty weird generally, I'd avoid it where possible. In this case you could maybe just do @username only like the mastodon website does, at least if there aren't multiple active accounts with the same ID?

It does, but I'm strongly against compacting user handles, even if it's conditional. Due to the federation protocol, users need to keep in mind their full handles so that they can share it with remote users. Basically, it's exactly how email clients work.

It's not too unusual however - Tusky, Husky, and Whalebird also display account handles this way too.

How about dropping the first @ then? That would already look a lot less weird.

Can do.
