Can you change your Reddit username?
Changing your Reddit username depends on whether you created your Reddit account using an email address or the sign-in with Google or Apple option.
Changing your username is impossible if your Reddit account was registered using an email address. Your current username is permanently linked to your account, and any modifications are not supported. However, if you really want a new username, you can delete your current Reddit account and make a new one.
However, if you have created your Reddit account using the Sign in with Google or Apple options, the platform provides the option to modify your username. But you can change your username only once within 30 days of your account’s creation.
