Per-community profiles

How to use a different nickname, avatar, and About Me in one community

1 min readUpdated for the current Astral app

Each community can show a different profile: another nickname, avatar, banner, or About Me. This does not change your global AstralTag.

Free vs Plutonium

Field Free Needs Plutonium
Community nickname (max 32) Yes
Pronouns Yes
Custom avatar / banner / accent / About Me Yes

How to open it

  1. User Settings → Profile.
  2. In Profile Type, pick a community instead of Global Profile.
  3. The header becomes Profile Customization for {community name}.

Avatar and banner modes:

  • Use global profile
  • Use custom image (Plutonium)
  • Don't show — default avatar, or accent color only for the banner

Switching profile type with unsaved edits asks Discard unsaved changes?

A community nickname is visible only there. Friends in DMs still see your global name.
