Meeting in person seems like the issue. In the gaming space for people who have used the platform for a while, it isn't so weird. The games I play it's even fun to see people have ign be their discord tag. I can see this providing value to "the general public" but I don't see how it provides value to gamers... and that's the thing I guess Discord is trying hard to branch out of gaming.

For in person why don't they add a qrcode scanner or shareable URL just like they do for servers?

RN what I do is share a qrcode for a small server that I admin and then friend/add ppl as they join. Totally not needed tbh.

Generally discord does a great job with onboarding, hope they figure this one out.
