What does CPDD mean?
Also written: CPDD, CP滴滴, ddcp, 找CP
In short
CPDD is short for "CP 滴滴": CP comes from "couple", a pair; DD is 滴滴 (dī dī), "ping me, message me". Together it means "looking for a CP, DM me if you're interested". It is common in public chat channels of games like Honor of Kings (王者荣耀) and QQ Speed (QQ飞车). The CP can be a regular duo partner or someone to date.
What CP and DD mean
CP is short for couple. In fan fiction and fan circles it means a pairing of characters or people; more broadly it means a couple or a fixed pair. In many Chinese mobile games, players can bind as a couple, play together and unlock special badges, so "forming a CP" is a real in-game thing.
DD is usually explained as 滴滴, the beep of a message or the sound of a ping: "beep me". So CPDD is a public ad for a partner, waiting for replies or friend requests. Some people write it as DDCP; the meaning is the same.
How to use CPDD

Joke readings
Since the letters alone hide the meaning, users made up joke expansions such as 脆皮弟弟 ("fragile little bro") or 臭屁弟弟 ("cocky little bro"). They are teasing; the real meaning is still CP 滴滴.
Stay safe
CPDD is mostly used by young players, and public partner-hunting can attract people with bad intentions. Be wary of anyone who asks for money, top-ups, skins as gifts, joining unknown groups or meeting offline. Minors in particular should never share their real name, school or address.
If you only want a duo partner, say so clearly, for example 只组队 ("teaming only").
