Tips for choosing a username
- Keep it short: under 15 characters is easy to type and remember.
- Make it easy to say: if you can’t say it out loud, people won’t find you.
- Use the same handle everywhere: consistent handles make you easier to find and tag.
- Avoid random numbers: they look spammy and are easy to forget.
- Think long-term: pick a name that still fits if your content grows or changes.
