Question 1

Is Equicord safe to use without getting banned on Discord?

Accepted Answer

Equicord violates Discord's Terms of Service, and while the README notes no known bans for safe plugin use, there's a risk, especially with abusive plugins. It's not recommended for critical accounts, and users should avoid posting screenshots in sensitive servers.

Question 2

How do I install Equicord on Linux using the command line?

Accepted Answer

For Linux, you can use the CLI tool EquilotlCli-Linux from the releases, or run the install script with 'sh -c "$(curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Equicord/Equicord/refs/heads/main/misc/install.sh)"'. The README also provides AUR package options for Arch Linux users.

Question 3

What plugins come with Equicord, and where can I find them?

Accepted Answer

Equicord includes over 300+ plugins, which are listed on the official plugins page at equicord.org/plugins. These cover themes, utilities, and enhancements, inherited from Vencord with possible community additions.

Question 4

Equicord vs Vencord: which one should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Equicord is a fork of Vencord, so it shares many plugins and features. Choose Equicord if you prefer its community-driven updates and support via Discord, but Vencord might be more established. Both violate Discord's ToS, so consider the specific plugins and installation methods each offers.

Question 5

Can I use Equicord on Discord's web version?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires building the web extension from source using 'pnpm buildWeb', then manually installing the ZIP from the dist directory. Note that browser support is limited, and Firefox needs a developer version, as mentioned in the README.

Question 6

How to update Equicord after installing it?

Accepted Answer

For GUI/CLI installs, check the Equilotl releases for updates. For dev builds, pull the latest changes from GitHub with 'git pull', then rebuild with 'pnpm build' and reinject. Regular updates might be needed to keep up with Discord changes.

Question 7

What happens if Discord updates and breaks Equicord?

Accepted Answer

As a client mod, Equicord can break with Discord updates. The community Discord server provides support and patches, but users might need to wait for fixes or revert to older versions, highlighting the instability compared to official clients.
