# Discord Help
comma.ai is a very open company. Their developers spend a lot of time on the Discord Server working with users and collaborating with other community developers. This is awesome. <u>But please don't abuse this.</u> Asking questions that have already be answered is a waste of everyone's time. Wasting developer time, means slower improvements for us all.
### Before Asking a Question
> Please follow the instructions on the #Guidelines channel, specifically:
```
• Is it answered on https://comma.ai/faq ?
• Is it answered on https://wiki.comma.ai/ ?
• Is the answer found in the pins of a related channel? (Discord Pins)
• Has the question been asked before? (Discord Search)
• Have you read the channel description to confirm this is the correct place for your question?
```
### How do I search on discord?
> Basic word searching is simple, but you may have better luck if you use search modifiers:

> So if you have a question about a Toyota Camry you should search in the #Toyota-Lexus channel such as: `in:#toyota-lexus <search term>`
### How do I read discord channel pins?
> On the web app, it is as simple as clicking on the pin icon in the top right of the channel:

> On the mobile app pins can be found by dragging from the right edge of the screen to the left.
### How do I read the channel description?
> On the mobile app, the channel description is located at the top of the page. If the description is truncated, you can click on it to read the entire contents:
