      In a non-Docker installation it is apparently found under

      config/settings.yml
      

      and should look like this:

      reserved_usernames:
        - admin
        - support
        - help
        - root
        - webmaster
        - administrator
        - mod
        - moderator
      

      It would be good if admins were able to control this list.

        While I can see the internal usage of that config variable, it does not seem to be documented at https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/ so I am not sure how stable that is.

        Generally we have decided to use the .env configuration for the instance, as that is the documented way, compared to using .yml

        I also wonder if this is just not implemented upstream yet, but according to https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/config/settings.yml#L1 the admin UI should eventually have that setting exposed.

          @nebulon Thanks! If that´s the case, we will be patient and wait for it to find its way upstream.
