In summary, the icon next to your post represents the category or topic of your post and is automatically chosen based on your selection. It cannot be manually changed and is optional depending on the user's choice. The icons serve as visual representations of categories or topics and do not have any specific meanings.

If I understand what you mean, it means just what you wrote - thread in which you posted. Makes it easier to follow threads you are interested in.
