Limited avatar sets sometimes don’t pair well with the reply-to feature in the post list in mobile view. Example here on the New World forum:

These two messages aren’t replying to the same person, but the New World forum has a fairly limited avatar set (as often with forums that only allow a set of useable avatars, from what I experienced). The issue is absent from the desktop view since the usernames are written next to the avatars:

When browsing and reading this kind of topic from a mobile, it’s quickly confusing.

Are there plans from Discourse to circumvent this slight issue? Currently, I don’t see another way than being the admin and adding the username on the mobile view as well.
