Getting Started
Welcome to Pixelfed.
Pixelfed is a federated media sharing platform inspired by Instagram.
How do I create a Pixelfed account?
To create an account using a web browser:
- Go to {{config('app.url')}}.
- Click on the register link at the top of the page.
- Enter your name, email address, username and password.
@if(config('pixelfed.enforce_email_verification') != true)
- Wait for an account verification email, it may take a few minutes.
@endif
How to I update profile info like name, bio, email?
What can I do if a username I want is taken but seems inactive?
If your desired username is taken you can add underscores, dashes, or numbers to make it unique.
Why can't I change 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.
I recieved an email that I created an account, but I never signed up for one.
Someone may have registered your email by mistake. If you would like your email to be removed from the account please
contact us.
I can't create a new account because an account with this email already exists.
You might have registered before, or someone may have used your email by mistake. You can
contact us to help you resolve this.
