Unfortunately, there is no online matchmaking for this game - Mojang announced at Minecraft Dungeons was made to be played with friends.
While you can't find new friends through the game itself, you can find some over on our Friend Request board!

Depending on the console you're playing on, you'll need an online subscription to play online multiplayer.
The PC version, however, can be played online with no limitations!
Info on the Online subscriptions can be found further down this guide (click to jump!).
When you play together, everyone will get loot reserved specifically to them. No nabbing shiny Unique weapons from your buddies, buddy!
Items can only be Equipped, Salvaged, Enchanted, or moved between your active equips and your inventory.
In short, there is no way to trade with other players.
The difficulty will scale depending on the size of your party. You can see the suggested Team Power when you select Missions, so find that sweet spot between challenge and punishment together!
