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).

Hey discord. Are you working on this feature. Just curious.
1 -
Many people want this so can you please say something?
1 -
would love this.
No more need for more servers ....
2 -
Yes pls... can't believe this was asked for 3 years ago and it's STILL not a thing... come on Discord...
2 -
Yes, please 🙏

Yes, 5000 Million Yes.
As someone who runs a 800 Member server this would be an amazing feature. I can only imagine how much use those servers with 10k+ members would love this.4 -
I came here for this exactly. I would love to see directories nesting, it would clean up so much space. It's done for servers (folders), having something similar for directories would be awesome.
And while I'm at it, being able to collapse members by visible roles would be great too, so you don't have 100+ names at the right side when you're trying to find a specific person. So, if you have the role 'Blue', and that roll is visible, 'Blue' can be collapsed, hiding all the names there if you never plan to talk to those specific people.

3 years later, have we gotten a response from Discord Devs yet?

Please join me in tweet spamming discord about this?

Looks like this still isn't in. Guess I'll just spawn more servers for my game group instead of just making a new nested one 😓

Got replies and threads but still can't give us an answer on this?

One thing not fully noted here; Discord, as a product, is great! I love it. I love that it's free. When I first started I imagined moving all my socials off of FB etc onto only discord.
Fast forward to now and I try to start/join servers, but they usually fall apart or don't work. Why? Because they're a sea of "root level" things. Without subcategories Discord servers become overwhelming monoliths, which means they're used less, which means lower engagement except for the determined few, which means eventually they fall apart.
I know monetization via boosts must be a reason why devs have been hesitant to do this, but I would say it's vital to the future of Discord, because people in this scenario have a choice; maintain one disorganized server, or setup separate servers for subcategories, duplicating management roles, duplicating channels, and making everyone's life difficult. Neither one of those makes me feel like paying for boosts are worth it.9 -
If monetization is why they won't make nested categories then they need to remember that there are Discord alternatives out there that do and they need to catch up or lose their hype

Just going to bump this..
4 -
Please, please, please... my list of channels is so long, no one makes it to the stuff on the bottom :(
5 -
There are so many threads for this and we STILL have no response to if this will ever be added as a feature.
6 -
bump for a much needed feature
3 -
Yes please! I can't believe we even have to ask for this, it seems like such a no-brainer! Love Discord as always, but this was a bit of a letdown when I realized I couldn't do this.
Also, ajbadaj7 has the most intelligent and well thought out argument here. I fully second what he says.

♥ thanks usetheporsche - lets get this done!

Linkedin just pinged me asking me to sing discord's praises on a post of theirs. I have high hopes for discord, but not without this feature. Maybe some of you might be interested in heading over there to leave a comment about how it could use this feature to fully get your support... you know, if you wanted 🤷🏾♂️

YES

Please do this. Channel clutter (even with only the essential channels) is getting way out of hand.
The lack of channel organization is putting an artificial limit on the breadth of discord servers at present.
1 -
The threads are a great start, but not an adequate replacement for nested categories. Still, I want to thank the devs for adding threads. If they add nested categories, things will definitely start to improve!
2 -
Discord really needs to come to the understanding that they need to create a nesting/subcategory ability or people will just start leaving discord for something like guilded.gg. It may not have all the bells and whistles that discord has but being able to keep things organized and clean looking is a huge step up.

Please add sub folders or sub channels. We have major issues organizing our guild discord server the way it is now, and any form of hierarchical structure would solve most of them.
1 -
YESSSS!
2 -
We need this. Can't believe it's still not a thing
0 -
This needs bumping up and bringing back to Devs attention!
0 -
Bumping this again because this is so desperately needed.
