 ### Assistant outcome

+Decrease the space between LinkLog items.

+Reduced the feed grid gap from 14px to 8px so link-log items sit closer together while preserving the existing item padding and responsive layout.

+
 ### User
 Show the avatar with each entry on the home page. On the specific /<user>/ page don't show the avatar and user name with each entry
