Describe the bug

When I see messages from a room server, I see as sender nickname the room server's name, not the name of the person/companion that did put the message there.

Which device are you using

LilyGO T-Deck Plus

Which Firmware are you using

v0.9.11

Regards!

improved in v0.9.12

  • Room server messages now show the original poster name
    • Posts relayed through a room server are now attributed to the participant who sent them instead of showing the room server name as the sender

Let me know if thats what you would expect (dont use roomservers!)

I post them for reference anyway:

Yes, this is what I would expect. If name is not known (ID not in local contacts), show some sort of "unknown" and ID (-prefix) as the official app does.
