Hi! I’m very happy to have found this forum. It’s already helped me solve several issues with my Nextcloud instance.

However, when I registered I did not intend my personal name to be visible on my posts.

How can I modify my account to preserve my privacy now. I’ve seen notes about having the account made anonymous, but that seems extreme. I’d just like to regain control of how I’m presented here.

Thanks for any help!

Is this name acceptable? If not, tell me another.
