What happens when you click on the arrow before the folder home ?
When I click on the icon, the directory is expanded and files and directories contained in the parent directory are displayed in a tree-like fashion.
I vaguely recall an option to force this behavior from many years ago.
Oddly, this behavior started following an update but a least a day after the kernel was dnf updated from 6.14.8-300 to 6.14.9-300,
FYI Same behavior going back to Fedora 38 Cinnamon.
I am not sure if I get your problem? Are you talking about the blue bar on the home folder?
Is this always blue? Could it be that it indicates, where you find your home directory of your user?
When expanding, does it show all folders blue or just your home folder?
In my opinion this should be a help to find your way to the active directory ?!
It looks normal to me.
This has always been a part of nemo. Maybe you used Nautilus in the past, or some other file manager - I believe this feature was removed from Nautilus quite a while back.

That looks normal.
/home probably only contains the home directory for your one user
Try ls /home and see what it shows.
I’m concerned about the > before each non-empty directory. I noticed this soon after a .vim folder was created in the desktop directory contain lines similar to
let g:netrw_dirhistmax =10
let g:netrw_dirhist_cnt =6
0Is this Nemo?
There seems to be a feature request to disable this, but no action on implementing it as far as I can see (though I don’t know Cinnamon-world well) - Option to disable tree view in Nemo · linuxmint · Discussion #564 · GitHub.
So it seems like at present, if you want a list view (as opposed to icon view), that mandatorily comes with the tree functionality and the > icons to expand tree nodes.
