    Is there a way to find someone's code without knowing their tag?

    No, there is no way to do that. You have to get name and tag.
  • Question
    Why do we have tags on Discord?
    Community Answer
    Users on Discord have tags so multiple people can share a username. For example, there can be a wikihow#0001, wikihow#0002, etc.

    How come when I try to add my friend, it says "Hm, didn't work. Double check capitalization, spacing, any spaces, and numbers are correct"?

    Make sure you typed the username and 4-digit Discord tag correctly. They have to be exact, or it won't work.

    You will need to ask your friend to give it to you in order to send a request.

    If there are spaces in the person's username, then you'll need them. However, there's no space between the username and the hashtag.
  • Question
    What about someone who has an emoji in their name? I've been trying to re-add a friend for a while now, but it won't let me use Rose emotes; just the text for the emote. Which it won't accept.

    You may need to copy and paste the unicode version of the emoji in order to get it to work. There are several sites where you can get the emojis, just search "unicode (whatever emoji you're trying to get)". If you can, ask the person to add you first, since it might be easier.
  • Question

    Go to the home page and click "Pending" from the menu at the top. If anyone has sent you a friend request, it will appear here.
  • Question
    So, there is no ''add friend'' button nowhere in Discord (I am on Windows 2000) and neither in phone, and I searched all around.

    They removed the Discord add friend button for people using Windows 2000, XP and Vista.

    You can’t. You’ll also need their username to add them as a friend. Unfortunately, a 4-letter tag won’t be enough.
  • Question
    I want to add a random friend on Discord to chat with.

    Community Answer
    It is impossible to add people without knowing their name/tag, but some Discord servers were made for chatting. Try it there! Remember the importance of online safety. You never know who's behind the screen!
  • Question
    How can I add random people if I don't know their username?

    Community Answer
    It's not possible. You need to know the username of the person. If you are trying to add a friend in real life, ask them for their Discord username!
