**Is your feature request related to a problem? As per https://help.nextcloud.com/t/how-do-i-change-existing-users-user-name/27574 The change of username is username of nextcloud account in impossible. Is not serius problem for the rest of apps but in Social if you have social login registration create a very big username something like for example @[email protected]

Describe the solution you'd like Possibility to change the username only for Social.

Describe alternatives you've considered Possibillity of changes in the App social Login in order to ask you to insert username when you register in Nextcloud.

+1. My usernames are created with the social_login plugin and are thus kind of obtuse and unrelated to my account.

It's also an issue when you have email login. My email domain and my nextcloud domain are different. With the generated username it results in @[email protected]@nextcloud.dom. This is then parsed as my username being @[email protected] which will result in an invalid username, as I am not hosting the user on that domain.

It would be nice if we can set a username when the social page is opened for the first time.

Because of convenience to the nc users we are using "firstname lastname" as username to login. So the username for social are invalid. "@firstname [email protected]" with space in between can search the fediverse, but not able to follow or interact with other instances.
