Friends

Friends on the iqpi.io platform — a mutual link between accounts: requests, friends list in the profile, and notifications about friends’ rewards and tournaments. There is no separate /lk/friends page.

Below — where to view the list and requests, how to add or remove a friend, what friendship gives, and how it differs from Messenger.

Related topics: Profile, Notifications, Messenger, Creating a tournament, Gifts, Rewards.

Why add friends

UI hint: “Add friends to see their rewards and tournaments, send gifts, and find them faster in the online players list.”

On the platform, friendship gives:

CapabilityFriendship required?
Notifications about a friend’s reward and published tournamentYes
Friends higher in Players onlineYes (sorting)
Friends only tournament — registrationYes (except the organizer)
Gifts, Messenger, challenge to a gameNo — sign-in is enough (for a gift and DM — not to yourself)

How to send a request

  1. Open the player’s profile /profile/{id} (from online, nickname search, or a link).
  2. Click Add friend (or in an empty friends block — Send request).
  3. Sign-in is required.

After sending, the button stays Add friend but becomes unavailable (outgoing request pending). There is no separate “cancel outgoing request” button in the UI.

If the other user already had an incoming request to you — sending yours may accept friendship immediately (mutual requests).

You cannot send a request to yourself.


How to accept or decline

  1. Open /lk/notifications?tab=friend_requests or the requests popup at the bell.
  2. For a request: Accept or Decline.

Incoming title: New friend request (text with the sender’s nickname).

After a decision the sender gets a notification:

  • Request accepted“User :user accepted your friend request”;
  • Request declined“User :user declined your friend request”.

Opening the Friend requests tab marks unread requests as read. Empty list: “No friend requests”.


Friends list

On your /lk/profile: Friends (N) block.

  • preview up to 10 people; then — Show more (full list, go to profile by nickname);
  • sorting: online first, then by nickname;
  • on your own profile, friends’ avatars show an online indicator;
  • empty list: “You have no friends added yet”.

On another profile: Friends block; empty — “User has no friends added yet”. On the public preview, online dots for friends may not show.

The profile friends list is viewable (including without your sign-in — as public profile data).


Remove from friends

  1. On the friend’s public profile click Remove from friends.
  2. Confirm: Remove from friends?.

The link is removed. There is no separate “you were removed” notification in the described logic.


Friends-only tournaments

When creating a tournament the organizer can enable Friends only.

Hint: “Only users from the organizer’s friends list will be able to register for the tournament”.

If you are not friends with the organizer: “Tournament for the organizer’s friends only”.

After publishing such a tournament, the organizer’s friends may get a notification with ParticipateNotifications.


Notifications about friends

In the Notifications tab (not the requests tab):

EventUI action
Friend received a rewardtext about the reward; Congratulate? → dialog in Messenger
Friend published a tournamentParticipate

Feed types: Notifications. Rewards: Rewards.


Typical scenarios

A. Add a player from online

  1. Players online → nickname or Find by nickname.
  2. Profile → Add friend.
  3. Wait for acceptance on the other user’s requests tab.

B. Process requests

  1. /lk/notifications?tab=friend_requests.
