On this page
A paste link gets one share. A profile keeps working for you: one address that collects everything you've published, shows people how many others follow you, and lets them follow you too so they never miss your next paste. Here's how Thpaste profiles, followers and the feed fit together.
Your profile, in three parts
Upload a photo (resized to a crisp square automatically) and pick a username — 3–24 lowercase letters, numbers or underscores.
Up to 280 characters of plain text: what you share, where you're based, where else to find you.
Every paste you mark Public appears here, newest first, with its format and view count.
Next to your name, visitors see your followers, following and public pastes counts, plus three buttons: Follow, Share (your phone's share sheet, or the link copied) and Copy link.
Set it up in two minutes
- 1Open Profile
In your dashboard sidebar, choose Account → Profile.
- 2Add a photo
Upload a JPEG, PNG, WebP or GIF up to 8 MB. It's cropped to a square around the most interesting part, shrunk for fast loading, and stripped of hidden metadata like GPS location.
- 3Choose your username
It becomes your address: thpaste.com/u/yourname.
- 4Write a bio and go public
Tick "Public profile" and save. Untick it any time to hide the page again.
Your profile is opt-in
Profiles start private. Nothing about you is public until you choose a username and switch the profile on — and switching it off hides the page and your public pastes from the feed straight away.
What shows up publicly — and what never does
| Paste setting | On your profile? | In followers' feeds? |
|---|---|---|
| Public | ✓ | ✓ |
| Unlisted | ✗ | ✗ |
| Password-protected | ✗ | ✗ |
| Burn after reading | ✗ | ✗ |
| Expired | ✗ | ✗ |
Unlisted is the default for new pastes, so you decide paste by paste what joins your public collection.
Following people and your feed
Tap Follow on anyone's profile and their new public pastes start showing up in your Feed.
- Feed — the newest public pastes from everyone you follow, with who posted, when, the format and the view count.
- Following — the people you follow; unfollow from here in one tap.
- Discover — suggested profiles to follow, starting with the most-followed and most active people.
Grow your following
| Do this | Because |
|---|---|
| Put your profile link in your Telegram, Discord or X bio | One link always shows your latest work |
| Mark your best, evergreen pastes as Public | They become your portfolio |
| Add an automatic signature with your profile link | Every new paste points back to you — see batch create & signatures |
| Check Analytics for your top sources | Post where your readers already are — see paste analytics |
Your follower count also appears on your dashboard, and when your pastes pass 1,000 views in total you can switch on Creator Mode for a Creator badge next to your name everywhere.
FAQ
Can people see who follows me?
Profiles show follower and following counts. Your own Following list is visible only to you in your feed.
Do I need a profile to follow people?
You need an account. Your own profile can stay private while you follow others.
Can I change my username later?
Yes, from the Profile page — just remember that links to your old address stop working.
