Django: converting the "date_joined" field on the AbstractUser class to only month and year precision

I have a Django model with a User class that inherits from AbstractUser.

class User(AbstractUser):
    pass

In the Django Admin screen, I see that the date_joined field has month, day, year, and time precision.

I also have a Django template with the following code:

{% block header%}
    <h2>{{ profile.username }}</h2>
    <h3>{{ profile.date_joined }}</h3>
{% endblock %}

Not surprisingly, this renders as follows:

Foo Bar

July 4, 2021, 6:38 p.m.

What I'd like is for it to render as only the month and date, as follows:

Foo Bar

July 2021

Is is possible to convert the date_joined field on the User class to month and year only?

Thanks!

Yes you can format the timestamp with the |date template filter [Django-doc]:

<h3>{{ profile.date_joined|date:"F Y" }}</h3>
