ive been using this knot but I don’t know what it’s called or if it’s trustworth. It’s just so easy to use above a hand ascender

That one looks to me like the schwabisch hitch. I've used it a few times to try some new knots. I found this one to bind up a little worse when my hitch cord was thunner diameter. On a larger diameter hitch cord it was a pretty good knot. If tied right, it's a good, safe knot. From the picture, it looks right.
 
Commonly used for footlocking ascents, back in the day. If it's not slipping on you, or binding up, then it's fine.
