Profiles

Your profile lives at /@username and is the page remote servers link to when they show your byline.

Tabs

Tab	Contents
Articles	Your published posts, newest first
Lists	Your public reading lists, if you have any
Recommendations	Posts you’ve recommended (“reposted”), newest-recommended first — see Recommending
About	Your longer self-description

A remote (federated) profile shows Articles and Recommendations too — Recommendations reflects what that account has boosted, as recorded from their Announce activities — but never Lists, which has no ActivityPub equivalent.

The About tab

Alongside your short bio, the About tab carries a custom Markdown section you control entirely. It is a layout surface, not just a paragraph: badges, tables, code blocks, TeX maths ($…$ and $$…$$) and ASCII art all render, and it uses a wider measure than the reading column so wide blocks fit.

Edit it in Settings → Profile. There is a live preview so you can check formatting before saving.

Avatar and identity

• Avatar — uploaded and stored in the uploads volume, served from your domain.
• Display name — what readers see.
• Username — the immutable part of your fediverse handle, @username@your-domain.

Links

Add social and web links with a platform and an optional label. They render as compact icon-only links in the profile header, with the labelled versions in the About tab.

Settings

Settings (/settings) is organised into sections:

Section	What it controls
Profile	Display name, bio, avatar, links, custom About section
Appearance	Theme: light, dark, or system
Reading	Default feed tab (For you, Local, Global) and feed language filtering
Privacy	Follower approval and related visibility settings
Followed tags	The tags feeding your personalised timeline
Muted and blocked	Accounts you have silenced, local or remote
Account	Email, password, and session management
Delete account	Permanent removal

Changing your password sends a security notice to your login address. If you didn’t make the change, follow the reset link in that email immediately.

Privacy and follower approval

With approval enabled, inbound follows — local or federated — wait in /follow-requests until you approve or reject them. Nothing is delivered to an unapproved follower.

You can also remove an existing follower, which revokes their subscription on your side and stops future deliveries.

Deleting your account

Account deletion is permanent and removes your content from the instance. Copies already delivered to remote servers are handled by the Delete activities that federation sends; whether every remote instance honours them is outside your instance’s control. You receive a confirmation email once it is gone.
