Using the slash command, you can change your Discord moniker (desktop and mobile)
If you like shortcuts, you can use the slash command to swiftly change your moniker in a server. This slash command works on both mobile and desktop versions of Discord, so launch it on your preferred device, go to the server where you wish to alter your username, and then type (in any server channel):

/nick /nick /nick /nick /nick /nick /nick /

new moniker should be replaced with your desired nickname. If I wanted to alter my moniker to Marshall Gunn, for example, I would type: /nick Marshall Gunn

Your nickname will change once you’ve executed the slash command.

To change your Discord background to a light or dark setting, follow these steps:

Go to the user settings section of the Discord app (the gear-shaped icon in the bottom-left corner of your desktop). Click on your profile symbol in the bottom-right corner of your phone).

Select Appearance from the App Settings menu.

Decide if you want to go light or dark.

You'll need to install third-party software, Better Discord, if you want a background that's more expressive than a simple dark or light version. These changes will only affect your desktop app, not your mobile app.
