Closes: READ-462

Proposed Changes

For external RSS feeds we don't have author avatars so for that use site avatars.

Testing Instructions

  • Go to RSS feeds (e.g. /reader/feeds/114856417)
  • Verify full post view show site icon as author avatars.

  • Have you tested the feature in Simple (P9HQHe-k8-p2), Atomic (P9HQHe-jW-p2), and self-hosted Jetpack sites (PCYsg-g6b-p2)?
  • Have you checked for TypeScript, React or other console errors?
  • Have you tested accessibility for your changes? Ensure the feature remains usable with various user agents (e.g., browsers), interfaces (e.g., keyboard navigation), and assistive technologies (e.g., screen readers) (PCYsg-S3g-p2).
