Increase channel limit

Sirius115117

Our server, Alderaan Travel Agency has recently hit the 500 channel limit. We would like to request a channel limit increase to at least 1000+. Our server currently hosts 800+ members. This feature would be much appreciated.

    donovan_dmc is there any chance to increase limit of channels?)  If it's for a big company that uses your service.

    Please, increase the channel limit. Or please increase the channel per category limit!

    For those that are reaching the channel limit, you may want to look at whether threads are a better option for what you want.

    1: Yes, there is a limit of 1000 ACTIVE threads, but you can have an unlimited amount of archived threads.

    What this means is instead of creating a channel, create a thread, and as long as people are posting to that thread, it remains visible. If no one does for a certain time, it archives (But Is still accessible, and you can still read everything in it!)

    This lets you use Channels for Persistent information, and Threads for transient conversations, that will come in and out of visual existence as needed.

    taking from examples given above, Threads for a Movie or an Xbox game for achievements makes more sense as only when people discussing it is it seen. you can then add a "table of contents" to the main channel with thread links so people can find a specific one they after.

    So I talked with a developer. It is technically possible to have language threads that are synchronized with a custom bot. Further it is technically possible to exceed the 1000 thread limit by having threads for rules, announcements and similar things marked archived the overwhelming majority of the time and only momentarily unarchived when it is desired to update. However while it is technically possible, it is so different from what members expect as to be confusing and not recommended

    I must say that the argument of "maxing out your channels is possibly an abuse" is potentially a valid assessment, not because of the limit imposed is being reached, but because of the justification offered by the OP here: the server has 800+ members and yet needs more channels than they have members. This absolutely gives me reason to believe they are not making effective use of the limit of channels in their server. I qualify this with the fact that I am part of a few dozen servers that boast well over 3000+ members each, and not a single one has come close to the 500 channel maximum, despite the fact that many of those servers very well could make a separate channel per topic and recklessly hit that max cap. Also, I am an Admin of a server of over 6000 members, and we couldn't even justify having that many channels despite the fact that our entire server is purely a social construct - discussions of so many topics.


    Sure, if you manage a server of more than 500 isolated discussions (before threads were introduced, therefore I won't qualify that solution to this past request/discussion), why do they all require their own separate channels? It seems such a group has grown beyond the scope of the intention of a Discord server. Would one justify the same concept back in a Teamspeak server? What about back in the IRC days? I'd say back before Discord was even mainstream (or even prior to it's launch), groups that needed that many isolated chats/discussion areas did the appropriate thing and used a forums provider and put those discussions where they belonged.

    Discord has decided that 500 channels per server is a good maximum, for many reasons. If your content exceeds that capability, you are either being terribly inefficient at managing the content, recklessly treading that line of abusive practices (also known as "fair use violations"), or you have legitimately grown beyond the scope of a simple Social Chatting platform, and need to consider a more appropriate setting/platform for your massive amount of content.

    If you find you need to translate everything in your server into over a dozen different languages, you should probably use a translator bot, or invite users to try Google Translate in their browser (why is it your job to copy/paste a message into every other language for several hundred/thousand people, when each user could easily do it themselves?) And no, it's not discrimination to fail to provide a convenience in your server; it's discrimination if you favor one thing over another on it's face rather than it's merits.

    There's another topic about this subject that has more votes. For all of you who agree that it should be possible to increase the server channel limit, please vote for the following:

    I have a free translation bot set up to translate for posting announcements and managing translations between global chat channels.I also have a custom bot for doing multi lingual giveaways. The tools currently used do not reduce the number of channels required. 

    A better custom bot is in the process of being created that will allow some content to use the same channel for multiple languages. However limits in Discord;s API require being creative to make that work. A solution has been thought up to have one channel for rules, one channel for partners, one channel for advertising, one channel for each running giveaway. The solution does not work for chat or announcements which  will continue to require separate channels for each language.

    google translator supports 107 languages. assuming all of them eventually get represented, that would allow 4.7 channels per languages. However the custom bot under construction will pull from multiple translation engines to support as many languages as possible

    Many individuals in South Africa often turn to the SASSA Status Check to monitor their application progress. Whether it's a general SASSA Status or a more specific query like the SASSA Status Check for R350 grants, people rely heavily on these updates. Moreover, for those who face challenges or discrepancies, the SASSA Appeal process becomes crucial. It's essential to stay informed, especially when dealing with financial assistance. The intricacies of SDR SASSA and the various nuances of SASSA SRD further emphasize the importance of understanding and navigating the system effectively.
