How to Find Active Friends for Duolingo Friend Quests?

Do you want to finish your Duolingo Friend Quests but can’t because you don’t have any active friends to team up with?

If so, you’re definitely not alone.

I had the same problem too. I kept sending friend requests, but most people didn’t accept, and the ones who did weren’t very active. It was pretty frustrating.

But after trying different methods myself, I finally found the best and fastest ways to find real, and active Duolingo users.

And in this blog post, I’m going to show you the best way to find friends for Duolingo Quest Friends in just a few minutes.

Let’s get started!

What Are Duolingo Quest Friends?

Duolingo Friend Quests are weekly challenges where you team up with one Duolingo friend.

And together, you try to complete tasks like earning a certain amount of XP, getting perfect lessons, or doing a set number of practices, etc.

If both of you finish the quest within 5 days, you get some awesome rewards, like a 30-minute XP Boost, 100 Gems, and progress toward your Monthly Challenge Badge.

How to Turn On Friend Quest on Duolingo?

Before we talk about how to find active friends, you first need to make sure the Friends Quest feature is turned on. Here’s how to do that:

Step 1: Go to Your Profile

• Open the Duolingo app on your phone.
• Then tap the Profile icon at the bottom right of the screen.

Step 2: Tap the “Settings” Icon

• On your profile page, you’ll see a little Settings icon in the top right corner. Tap it.

Step 3: Turn On Friends Quest

• Scroll down until you see “Friends Quest.”
• If it’s off, switch it on. If it’s already on, you’re all set!

Best Ways to Get Active Friends for Duolingo Friend Quests

After trying lots of different methods, I found three that actually work. These helped me, and they’ll work for you too.

1. Reddit (r/duolingo)

Reddit is one of the best places to find active Duolingo users. There are several Duolingo-related subreddits where learners share tips, progress, and questions. I use Reddit myself to find new Quest Friends, and it works really well.

Here’s what you’ll need to do:

• Go to the r/duolingo subreddit (the biggest Duolingo community).
• Search for posts like “Quest Friends” or “Add Friends.”
• In the comments, you’ll see tons of users sharing their usernames. You can share yours too.
• Add the people who posted their usernames, or wait for others to add you.

2. Facebook Groups

Facebook is another great place to find active Duolingo friends. Since so many people use it, there are tons of Duolingo groups filled with real, active Duolingo users.

Here’s what you’ll need to do:

• Open Facebook and search for Duolingo groups.
• When you find one you like, request to join.
• After you’re accepted, make a post asking for “Quest Friends” or “Add Friends.”
• In the comments, you’ll see tons of users sharing their usernames. Just pick the ones you want and add them to your Duolingo friends list.

3. Duolingo Leaderboards

Duolingo Leaderboards are honestly one of the easiest places to find active users. The leaderboard shows a list of top players who earn a lot of XP every day.

If someone is earning a bunch of XP like that, they’re usually a great person to team up with.

Here’s what you’ll need to do:

• Open your Leagues tab.
• Look for people earning lots of XP or moving up the ranks.
• Tap their profile and hit the “+” button to add them.

Most active players accept friend requests because they like having active friends too.
