Nested Categories
Please add a function where you can add categories in categories so one could organize their server somewhat like so:
==Guild==
↓ Music
# chat one
# chat two
↓ Gaming
↓ Minecraft
# screenshots
# chat
↓ CS:GO
# screenshots
🔊 voice chat
I recently thought of an option for a very wide-purposed discord server, with a whole lot of channels. Since they are so hard to navigate without Nested Categories, one option would be to make a #contents channel right at the top of your server, where you can make a pretty markdown message with channel mentions so people can easily get to them. until nested categories are a thing, this is one solution (not a good one but it's better than nothing).

This is gonna make for a great addition in Discord, especially for huge 300+ discord servers!

This was possible in Vent, it would be cool to have here.

Honestly surprised this isn't already a feature.

Please yes!

Oh hell yes! This would help me with making my server MUCH more newbie friendly, they won't need to be ULTRA OVERWHELEMED by hundreds of area chats in my roleplay, i upvote this harder than a supersonic jet smashing into earth

Any news about this finally being a thing?
Maybe just a reply by Staff if they are considering it or not?

This would GREATLY increase not just user satisfaction, but as an admin I want this so badly. i would love to be able to make sub-categories. just 1 nested is plenty, really. I NEED DIS PLS
6 -
I am down !!! We need this !
5 -
We certainly do, so simple yet so effective!
4 -
BIIIIG +1. Please keep us up to date if this happens. Please. PLEEEEASE.
2 -
I really need this. I don't want to make multiple servers its annoying.

And update on this? I saw a Reddit post from 3 years ago where Discord said this was in development. https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/3u39oz/are_you_able_to_have_sub_channels_on_discord/?utm_source=BD&utm_medium=Search&utm_name=Bing&utm_content=PSR1

I guess they don't want to deal with making horizontal scrolling. This would make so many things more convenient and it's so simple to do.
1 -
That's so silly though. Horizontal scrolling already doesn't exist for names that are long. We don't care about that. We just want more organization and tidying in our servers. PLS GIB DEEZKARDS.

100% d'accord, 'suis dans la même situation
2 -
Or just avoid horizontal scrolling by making the sub-channel's text smaller?
2 -
It's the only thing I can think of that would hold this up. There's not really any technical reason this should be difficult to implement. The UX aspect is all I can conjecture.
3 -
Why is this not happening yet? It would be so easy to do I'd think. Also it would save so much space and time on Role Playing channels too. I need this for my servers. ><
Category: Housing
Channel: Apartment Building
Sub Channel: Apt 201
Sub Channel: Apt 306
Channel: Mobile Home Park
Sub Channel: John's Home
Category: Pub & Inn
Channel: Bar area
Sub channel: The Office
Sub Channel: The Kitchen
Channel: Rooms
SC: Room 1
SC: Room 2
etc. This really can't be hard to implement. I wish we could make something even on a bot that could make something like this but I get that it's an entirely different type of coding.15 -
To me, personally, that sounds like it could get a bit confusing. But I'm sure some servers with a lot of channels would find that useful. -1 -
@spudpotato Yeah, I'm not saying that you should have to, I just want it as an option. (btw the one I want is the one on the left, the one of the right is the one we have)

Ah, I just saw the diagram @Magnetically - it makes sense now. 👍

Everyone wants this and it totally boggles my mind that the ability to create sub-categories did not get created from the start. But even though it wasn't created as an option from the start it's even more confusing that the functionality has not been implemented for so long while everyone complains about it. It mainly confuses me that it has not been added because of how easy of an addition it would be.
Things are a mess without sub-categories on a lot of servers. For example one of the servers I use for a game is for our alliance but my alliance has 8 sister alliances all under the leadership of our main alliance. So in any normal program this would be no issue.
You would simply have a category for each Alliance and sub categories within each alliance for organizing that alliance. For example:
> Alliance 1
>chat rooms
#general chat
#raid chat
#officer chat
>team rosters
#desert roster
#ocean roster
>Alliance 2
>chats
#chat 1
#chat 2
>example
#repeat
#repeat 2
>Alliance 3
etc.
etc.
but instead our server looks like this
>Alliance 1
#general chat
#raid chat
#officer chat
#roster a
#roster b
#roster c
#roster d
and it goes on for a good 30 channels all in 1 category and then 30 more for alliance 2 category, etc. giving absolutely no organization at all unless you setup a very complicated server and spent a lot of time on the creation. Then you could have a category for chats and have all the chats for all alliances in that category but you would only see the alliance channels for the alliance your in, thus making it very organized. Except for the big problem that the organization and functionality will be 100 times worse for the leadership that needs access to every alliance.

For the love of all that is sacred, please do this!
1 or 2 sub categories would be glorious!5 -
Please im still waiting for this...........
2 -
Having the ability to create Categories with sub categories and or Channels with sub channels would be incredibly useful and very much helpful for SO many reasons. I hope that discord really considers this, then make it happen.

Can we please get this? I really need this feature.
