Is there any community owner who uses aliases for user linka? For example: domain.com/username. Maybe in the same way that /rules leads to /faq. Is it a problem to create aliases for users? Does it have any problems with the structure of Discourse?

This already exists? e.g.: https://meta.discourse.org/u/merefield/ btw, your username isn’t especially friendly? :sweat_smile: https://meta.discourse.org/u/yhh9xdq7d/ [Samuel L Jackson Reaction GIF by Coming to America]

The /u/ is unfriendly? I would prioritise friendly usernames first :slight_smile: You could try extending the Rails router config in a plugin, I guess, but I’m not sure it’s worth the effort? But what if someone decides to call themselves tos, privacy or faq?!

Here’s the file you need to override. Try it out: discourse/routes.rb at main · discourse/discourse (github.com) If you are not used to writing Rails and plugins, take a look at: Rails Routing from the Outside In — Ruby on Rails Guides Beginner’s Guide to Creating Discourse Plugins Part 1: Creating a basic plugin - howto / developers - Discourse Meta

And what if Discourse needs to add a new route and you already have a user named like that? What is the benefit of leaving out the /u/ part?

There is ease of use for the user if it’s simply domain/username. Could routes be categorized in the way that usernames are currently? For example: domain/i/faq, domain/i/tos, domain/i/privacy, and top-level would be reserved for usernames: domain/username?
