What can I do if a username I want is taken but seems inactive?
< / a >
< div class = "collapse" id = "collapse3" >
< div class = "mt-2" >
If your desired username is taken you can add underscores, dashes, or numbers to make it unique.

Why can't I change my username?
< / a >
< div class = "collapse" id = "collapse4" >
< div class = "mt-2" >
Pixelfed is a federated application, changing your username is not supported in every < a href = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub" > federated software< / a > so we cannot allow username changes. Your best option is to create a new account with your desired username.

I received an email that I created an account, but I never signed up for one.

I can't create a new account because an account with this email already exists.
