Your Profile
Edit
How do I edit my bio, name, email, or password?
To edit your account using a web browser:
- Go to {{route('settings')}}.
- You should see the Name, Website, and Bio fields.
- Change the desired fields, and then click the Submit button.
Why can't I update my username?
Pixelfed is a federated application, changing your username is not supported in every
federated software so we cannot allow username changes. Your best option is to create a new account with your desired username.

To change your account visibility:
- Go to {{route('settings.privacy')}}.
- Check the Private Account checkbox.
- The confirmation modal will popup and ask you if you want to keep existing followers and disable new follow requests
- Click the Submit button.

@if(config('pixelfed.account_deletion'))
How do I delete my account?
@if(config('pixelfed.account_delete_after') == false)
When you delete your account, your profile, photos, videos, comments, likes and followers will be permanently removed. If you'd just like to take a break, you can temporarily disable your account instead.
@else
When you delete your account, your profile, photos, videos, comments, likes and followers will be permanently removed after {{config('pixelfed.account_delete_after')}} days. You can log in during that period to prevent your account from permanent deletion. If you'd just like to take a break, you can temporarily disable your account instead.
@endif
After you delete your account, you can't sign up again with the same username on this instance or add that username to another account on this instance, and we can't reactivate deleted accounts.
