Channel Opt-In instead of Mute

TriforceLegend
Right now every time a new channel is created on a server we’re opted in to notifications by default. It would be nice for channels to be muted by default and require the user to opt-in/unmute. This would be helpful in servers that have new channels being created (for example for online game sessions) daily, which cause me to get inundated with notifications. I think an “unmute all” option would need to accompany this feature in for when joining a new server, so you wouldn’t have to individually unmute everything in servers with dozens of channels.

    That would be nice, now you have to do it all manual.

    +1, this feature request is similar to how it works in Slack.

    Servers for work benefit greatly from this. A design team wouldn't care about purely tech discussion, for example. The current workaround is telling people to mute those channels when they join for the first time as there is no default mute setting in Discord either.

    Roles are not enough for this as admins have immediate access to all servers.

    Yes this would be so nice. I have way too many notifications and this would solve that issue.

    There is already an option as such.

    Therefore go to your Server > Settings > Overview > Notifications (scroll down a little bit)
    and select the option "only @mentions"

    Is this what you were asking for?

    KiddingKitteh I think what is being asked here includes also the "unread" bold status font for channels. The idea is that you start joining just one or two channels automatically when you join a server, and then you can search or browse the channel list of the server and manually "join" them, thus displaying them on the side bar, enabling notifications for them and showing the "unread" status if messages have been sent to them.
