I want to make the user profiles private. In such a way that if someone clicks on your username, they cannot see the publications that user has made, or anything.
Is there any extension? Is it possible?
Private user profiles - Extensions?
Code1990 there is such an extension but it needs to be tested if compatible with the latest version (hasn't been updated for a while and does not have an introduction post here): https://extiverse.com/extension/serakoi/flarum-hideprofile

Code1990 there is a proposal to introduce this as a feature but nothing is planned currently (https://discuss.flarum.org/d/31805-allow-users-to-hide-their-profiles-from-other-users). You could try to get someone to write an extension in the meantime.
Gorm Flarum also have a separate permission for viewing Profile Pages
No, there's only a built-in option for searching users. In older Flarum versions it was named in a very confusing manner that suggested it might control profile visibility but it was never the case.
It shouldn't be very difficult for an extension to achieve this. Removing the profile page might be troublesome, but preventing to see the discussions and posts of a user should be simple, it's just a search gambit that could be disabled depending on the permissions, and some visual tweaks to the profile page to say that you are not authorized to see the content instead of showing "0 discussions".
