Getting started

Welcome to nicagram.

How do I create an account?

Registration is currently closed on nicagram. If this server reviews applications, see curated onboarding; otherwise see the instance user limit for what to do next.

How do I update my name, bio or e-mail address?

From your account settings. Your display name, website and bio are on that page; your e-mail address is under e-mail settings.

The username I want is taken but looks inactive. What can I do?

Add an underscore, a dash or a number to make it unique. Usernames are not reassigned, including ones belonging to deleted accounts.

Why can I not change my username?

This is federated software. Other servers in the network identify you by your handle, and not all of them can follow a rename, so renaming is not allowed. If you need a different username, create a new account with it — and see account migration, which can bring your followers across.

I got an e-mail saying I created an account, and I did not.

Somebody probably typed your address by mistake. Ask the admins from the contact page to remove it from that account.

I cannot register because an account with my e-mail address already exists.

You may have registered before, or somebody used your address by mistake. The admins can sort it out.
