All of the ideas look very good, but the profile links might be looking too big and might occupy too much space in the profile page of a user, I would maybe remove the text of the links at first and make the icons smaller, with a pin with an arrow to expand the links, where once clicked it opens the links like in your preview.

Thanks, I tried your idea and this is what I got. I like this version even better now. With the saved space, the user can now put up to 6 links in one line, also I added an arrow to open the full list.

This looks much better now, good job!

Another (optional) additional feature is maybe showing the usernames below the link button and the icon with the text scrolling to the right if too long, this way the profile page gets even more personalized. (its a plus really, this already looks good enough).

[ver 1] I tried your idea, I got something like this. Unfortunately, if I keep the size of the link button the same, then the text almost doesn't fit under it, I used the minimum allowable font size (11), but even so, only very few letters fit from the username, there is no place for the icon at all. In addition, some services contain a username with @, and some without @ (for example, LinkedIn and Spotify), in my opinion, this visually creates an imbalance. 

[ver 2 & 3] I thought about how else it could be implemented and decided to make a window that would open when clicking on the link. This will allow the user to view the link in more detail without opening it, and also protects against opening the link in case of accidental clicking on it. I made 2 versions of this window.

Looks much better like this (v2 is good, but v3 has a too big box, I think it could be implemented like the already-in-place half-screen popup that comes out with the media selector when sending something in a chat, coming from below, so it doesn't try to stretch while in the middle of the screen). The implementation of the username being shown next to the social icon I believe is only feasible if the icons are listed, so maybe by clicking the arrow, the socials could come down as a list (as *icon* | *username*) so you see the username without having to click and seeing the popup. Just an idea.

I tried to make a few more options for the pop-up, and also made a more detailed option for links when the list opens, now the detailed version has the name of the link and the username, which can fit completely if it's shorter than 13 letters. I tried to make a list of 1 link per line but then when opening the list becomes too large, although there is a lot of free space on the right side, so I decided to make 2 links per line.
Nobody added any issues yet...
