Username
Your username is what lets others access your Miwa.lol profile at the URL https://miwa.lol/username (where "username" is replaced by your actual username). It can only contain letters, numbers, and most common special characters (e.g. -, _, .). It cannot contain spaces or emojis.
Your username is unique: if someone else has already taken it, you’ll need to choose a different one.
I tried to register with a username, but it says it's taken. The URL says "This user does not exist". Why?
This can happen if the user has not finished the onboarding process, or if the user is banned. In this case, you can either wait for the user to finish the onboarding process or contact our support team to request the username. Learn more here...
Choosing a username
When you register, you will be asked to choose a username. You can change your username whenever in your account settings. When choosing a username, keep in mind the following:
- It should be easy to remember and type.
- Often, it is best to use a name that is related to your content or brand.
- Avoid using special characters or numbers that are difficult to remember.
Display name
By default, your display name is the same as your username. You can change your display name independently of your username.
Compared to the username, the display name is not unique and can contain any characters, including emojis, spaces, and special characters. It is displayed on your profile and in the leaderboard.
We recommend using your name or a nickname as your display name, as it makes it easier for others to recognize you.
Alias
This is a Premium feature.
An alias is a second username that you can use to access your profile. For example, if your username is miwa, you can set an alias of miwa2.
When you do this, your profile will still be accessible at https://miwa.lol/miwa, but https://miwa.lol/miwa2 will redirect to https://miwa.lol/miwa.
This is useful if you want to change your username but still want to keep your old one accessible without complexity.
