Reddit Regret? The Truth About Changing Your Username (and What You CAN Do)

We've all been there. That username seemed hilarious at 3 AM, but now it's a daily source of cringe. You're probably Googling "how to change reddit username," right? Here's the deal: **You can't directly change your Reddit username.**

Yep, it's permanent. Think of it like a tattoo – choose wisely (the first time!).

But don't despair! There *are* options:

1. **Start Fresh:** Create a new Reddit account with your desired username. This is the most common solution. Just remember to unsub from your old communities and resubscribe with your new account.
2. **Consider Why:** Before jumping ship, ask yourself why you dislike your username. Is it simply embarrassing, or is it revealing personal information? If it's the latter, creating a new account is definitely the way to go.

While a true username change isn't possible, these workarounds offer a clean slate. Happy Redditing (with a name you actually like)!
