Account settings¶

Account settings control your personal experience in Rhizome.

General¶

• Preferred start view — determines which view appears after login or when clicking the home icon in the breadcrumbs. Options include: Overview, Inbox, My Topics, or All Topics.
• Language — the language of the user interface. Currently English and German are supported; more languages are planned. This setting only affects UI elements, not user-generated content.

Appearance¶

• Theme — choose between light mode, dark mode, or automatic. When set to "automatic", Rhizome follows the operating system or browser setting.

Profile¶

• Avatar — upload a profile picture. A square image works best, since avatars are displayed as circles in Rhizome.
• First and last name — your displayed name
• Username — used for mentions in chats and the live editor. Type @ followed by a username to mention someone. Usernames are typically shorter than full names, making quick mentions more convenient.

Notifications¶

You can choose what you are notified about:

• All activity — new and upcoming topics in your groups
• Relevant interactions — activity in topics you participate in, plus mentions
• No notifications — you receive no email notifications

Additional toggles are available for specific notification types.

Security and access¶

• Change password — update your password
• Active sessions — an overview of all devices where you are logged in. Your current session is highlighted. You can end individual sessions or sign out of all devices at once — for example, if a device is not nearby and you want to prevent unauthorized access.
