This leads me to believe that user ids started at 11(16x0) and that channel IDs started at something similar. If anyone has reasonable explanations of how this could be, please let me know below.Įdit: Looking through all the Discord Staff, they all start with 11. That would also mean that there were about 3.9 quadrillion accounts/channels made between these two dates. After the first user, the IDs for channels/users begin increasing my an unknown integer.Īre you in any old Discords? Check to see what their ID numbers are.Īn account made in November of 2015, when Discord first came out is 117378255429959680.Īn account made earlier in that same month is 113476157927669760.Īfter putting some thought into it, that would mean that there are quadrillions of users/channels, which seems completely unrealistic. Presumably this means that the first Discord user's ID is 000000000000000001. There are no two IDs that are the same. Each user ID or channel ID consists of an 18 character string of numbers. I am now on the hunt for the lowest ID numbers I can find. It appears that the earlier the user's account/channel was made, the lower the number. If anyone has information that they have heard, or if something has been actually proven about this theory elsewhere, please let me know. I have tested this with several channels across several servers, as well as with user IDs to verify the information, but that does not mean that it is completely accurate.

I'd like to preface this post by saying that all of this information is observational data.
