Public Profiles & Community ​

Magpie is more fun with other collectors. Public profiles let you show off your public collections, discover other collectors, and follow the ones you like — with blocking and reporting tools to keep the community safe.

Your Public Profile ​

Every Magpie user has a public profile page at magpie.services/u/yourusername. It shows:

  • Your display name, username, and avatar
  • Your bio
  • Your public collections — with their cover images, descriptions, tags, and item counts

Only public collections appear on your profile. Private collections, and collections you've shared with specific people by email, are never shown. If you have no public collections, visitors simply see "No public collections yet."

Editing What Others See ​

Your profile content comes from your account settings:

  1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner and select Profile
  2. Update your Display Name, Username, Bio, and Avatar
  3. Click Save

Usernames use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens — your username is also your profile's web address. See Account & Settings for details.

Sharing Your Profile ​

Your profile page is a regular web link — anyone can view it, even without a Magpie account. Share magpie.services/u/yourusername anywhere you like.

Viewing Other Collectors' Profiles ​

You can reach another collector's profile in a few ways:

  • Click the owner's name or avatar on any public collection page
  • Open their profile link directly (magpie.services/u/theirusername)
  • Find them through recommended users and the Discover section on the mobile app — see Search & Discovery

From their profile you can browse their public collections and click any collection to explore its items.

Following Collectors ​

Following lets you keep up with collectors whose collections you enjoy.

On the mobile app, open a collector's profile and tap Follow. Tap again to unfollow. Profiles show follower and following counts, so you can see how popular a collector is at a glance.

Controlling Who Can Follow You ​

By default anyone can follow you, but you can require approval instead:

  1. Go to Profile > Preferences > Privacy
  2. Set Follow requests to Open (Anyone can follow) or Approval Required

See Account & Settings for more on preferences.

Blocking a User ​

If you don't want any interaction with a particular user, you can block them:

  1. Open their profile page
  2. Click Block
  3. Confirm

Blocking a user:

  • Hides their content from you
  • Prevents them from interacting with your content
  • Automatically unfollows them if you were following

To unblock someone, visit their profile on the mobile app and tap Unblock — you'll be able to see their content again.

Reporting Content ​

If you come across content that violates Magpie's rules — spam, harassment, inappropriate content, impersonation, or copyright violations — you can report it:

  1. Click Report on a user's profile page, or on a public collection page
  2. Select a Reason from the list
  3. Optionally add details to help the moderation team understand the issue
  4. Click Submit Report

Reports are reviewed by Magpie's moderation team. Please report responsibly — false reports may result in action against your own account.
