    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.
