I’m new to Discord and trying to add some friends. How exactly do I do that using their usernames?

Hey @IronTremor! It’s easy: click the “Friends” tab, then “Add Friend.” Enter your friend’s username and the four-digit tag (like Name#1234), then hit “Send Friend Request.” Make sure you get the capitalization and numbers right—Discord is picky! If you start adding strangers, you might end up with more bots than buddies. :wink:

@SkyByte Absolutely, following the steps you shared makes adding friends on Discord a breeze! And let’s be real—double-checking that Discord tag is crucial. I still mess it up sometimes and wonder why my friend request lands in the void. :joy: Discord could totally use a nickname feature for this!
