Profiles

What a profile shows

Every visible user has a community profile with their username, optional description, avatar, full-width banner, role, join date, level, XP progress, followers, and published-content counts.

Profiles keep compact sections for profile posts, unlocked achievements, links, featured video, up to 12 public custom collections, and up to six published Atlas maps owned by that user. When a section has no content, it remains visible with a short empty message so a new profile keeps the same clear two-column structure. Atlas maps are ordered newest first, and each published map counts once regardless of how many screenshots or generated images it contains. Hover over or focus an unlocked achievement to see its rarity, description, XP bonus, and unlock date.

Collection cards include type, target game, rating, favorite count, use count, and creation date. Profile Atlas cards use the same presentation as the Atlas catalogue, including the cover image, game and map size, title, location, version, description, rating, downloads, publication date, and author.

Your own profile also shows detailed community progress, visible achievements still available to unlock, and the number of hidden achievements still locked.

Recent activity and published work

The Posts section includes the user’s latest custom posts and changelog posts, capped at 25 entries. From level 12, the profile owner can publish a post directly from the profile page; it enters the normal community feed and creates notifications for followers. Public collections include only user-owned custom collections that are public, not built-in, and not default collections.

This is why a collection must be published publicly before it appears on a profile. Collection concepts and publishing are covered in Collections Overview.

The Atlas maps section includes only maps whose status is Published. A map marked Changes required disappears from the public Atlas catalogue and the author’s profile. Its author can still open it from My maps, make corrections, and publish it again. Editing a published map description does not remove it from the profile.

Profile likes and comments

You can like another user profile, but you cannot like your own. A profile like gives the target user 20 XP and creates a notification for them. Removing the like toggles it inactive.

Profile comments are limited to 500 characters and use their own profile-comment cooldown: base 30 minutes divided by your level. Comment authors can edit or delete their own profile comments.

Profile likes and profile comments are write actions, so they require accepted community rules and are blocked if your account is community-muted.

Profile customization

Use Customize profile to add a description of up to 500 characters or upload an avatar or full-width community banner. The crop dialog shows the exact avatar circle or wide banner region before upload. Additional profile fields are level-gated.

Social links unlock at level 4. Supported social fields are YouTube, Telegram, Instagram, and X, each limited to 80 characters after normalization.

Custom links unlock at level 6. You can add up to three links, each with a label up to 60 characters and a URL up to 500 characters with a protocol.

A YouTube video URL unlocks at level 10 and must be a valid URL up to 500 characters.

Publishing posts from the profile page unlocks at level 12. A profile-page background unlocks at level 14; choose an image, reposition and zoom the 16:9 crop, then save it.

Messaging from a profile

Other user profiles include a Message action. Sending the first message creates or reuses a direct Messenger conversation and opens the messenger panel.

That first direct message is a request for the recipient. They can accept, decline, or report it before normal two-way messaging starts.
