Hi! I messed up my username at signup and its be bothering me a long time now. I would like my username to be SmokeyDope instead of the current Smokeydope.

I don’t believe theres any way to change the username on my side. I can change how it displays locally on Voyager but thats not really the same thing.

Is there anything that can be done about this easily on the admin side? Its not a big deal and im worried it could require resetting my post and comment numbers.

    Your account name cannot change, but you can make your display name whatever you want. Though various apps/UIs may only show one or the other. My app shows “Smokeydope” as the author of this post, but shows “SmokeyDope” when viewing your profile.

    Smokeydope is your username. That can’t be changed due to how federation works. But your display name is SmokeyDope. Display names can be changed to anything as much as you want.
