There is a theme for the mobile view

Show original poster avatars on mobile

This is a simple theme component that shows the profile picture of the original poster (OP) on the mobile topic list, rather than the latest reply. [Screen Shot 2020-11-25 at 6.22.18 PM] I turned this into a component because it’s a common request, but keep in mind that this isn’t the default because it means the profile picture shown next to a topic will rarely change and could make your site look somewhat stale (to contrast, last poster updates often).

There are also some discussions about that

On the mobile theme, the list of posts show's the latest replying user's avatar, not the OP's avatar

I have had several people come to me very confused why their post was attributed to another user. This is because the avatar of the latest poster is used in the mobile view and nothing else (not even an author name). The author of the post is always the left most user on the desktop theme for a reason; not carrying over this important distinction is highly confusing.
