Handle Guidelines & Best Practices

Claim your unique username

Your LinkVM username is your permanent address on the platform. Discover how to pick, format, and share a clean handle that sticks in your audience's mind.

Username formatting rules

Simple standards to ensure cross-platform compatibility and clean URLs.

Allowed Characters

Usernames can include lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), underscores (_), hyphens (-), and periods (.).

Length Requirements

Choose a handle between 3 and 30 characters in length. Shorter handles are easier to memorize.

Case-Insensitive Resolution

Whether a follower types "AlexSmith", "alexsmith", or "ALEXSMITH", your profile always loads reliably.

Custom Handle Prefixes

LinkVM supports standard prefixes such as linkvm.online/@handle, linkvm.online/handle, and linkvm.online/~handle.

Tips for choosing the perfect handle

1. Match your primary social handle: If your Instagram handle is @sarahcreates, claim sarahcreates on LinkVM so your branding remains identical everywhere.

2. Avoid excessive numbers or symbols: Clean handles like linkvm.online/alex are far easier for podcast listeners and conference attendees to type from memory than linkvm.online/alex_9921.

3. Claim early: Usernames on LinkVM are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis with real-time uniqueness validation.
