Channel Merging
-
This would help immensely in organizing channels on my server, and I’m willing to take the hit for the messages chronological order.

A feature like this would be amazing! Maybe mark those texts as "Migrated" then besides the time to show that those weren't intended in that place and time, would make a conversation flow easier to see when migrated messages throw themselves between an ongoing conversation.

Still eagerly awaiting this feature. A precise technique to efficiently merge two channels together still needs to be properly figured out, but the basic concept of this feature is solid. This is something that should've been a feature long ago.

Defo need this, we keep asking. i'd like to merge all archives channels from a previous raid tier for example

There really does need to be a simple feature allowing channels to be merged.

Simple google search brought me here, definitely would LOVE this feature to be implemented. I can't imagine discords structure of code so I can't say why it would be too difficult, but here's to hoping they are listening and someone is working on it!
+1 to channel merging! Why isn't this already a function!2 -
Discord's main argument against this was that the message sequence would be messy - I say if it's just a matter of changing a list of message to have a different parent channel, give the user the warning that the date/time ordering may look weird, and allow them to just do it. It can't possibly be that hard, and it's a highly requested feature that would make a lot of people happy.

Definitely would like to be able to merge channels. I have both an "images" and "screenshots" channel with a lot of history that I'd like to merge on my server. I don't know why I didn't just have one channel for images in the past, but 3 years have passed and I don't want to archive/delete the "less" popular channel.

I was just transferred ownership of a server and my OCD and design sensibilities are driving me crazy because I can't merge channels. DISCORD. Please do something about this! (Admin in like over a dozen servers)

Wish we had this feature...

Support. Would make organizing channels much easier without worrying about losing posts or having to go through the tedious process of reposting.

is this the right place to push this suggestion up or is there a feature request area somewhere?

Yess!!

Merging channel is not a problem from the perspective of parallel discussions. It is normal for channels to have more than one simultaneous discussion. People quote each other. At any rate, this is a small caveat in comparison to losing the message history. The purpose with merging is to keep history and make it accessible and searchable, rather than deleting the channel.
+1 for merging channels.

What a Good Idea if we Actually had a Button or API Feature for Channel Merging System in Place by Defualt.

2 years? Guess we’ll keep waiting...

Let's examine merging channels from a technical point of view.
Superficially it sounds like quite the simple feature. Assuming each message object has a channel ID signifing on which channel the message was written, all it takes to merge a channel is to change the channel ID of the Merged channel to the channel ID of the channel being Merged Into.
From permission/privacy point of view. It means that messages that were written in channel Merged with permission P_Merged are now going to be viewable to participants of channel MergedInto, with different permissions P_MergedInto.
I guess this is fine, because the admin doing the merging could also give participants of channel MergedInto access to channel Merged.
All I would add is a warning to the admin of groups with access to channel MergedInto that do not have access to channel Merged.So... If it's so simple, why are Discord ignoring us and this simple feature??

We're in 2020 and I hope Discord makes it happen

2 years and highly requested feature and discord ignore us, same thing goes for another suggestion for sub categories 2 years ago and no response from discord... both seem easy to do from a technical point of view.

Yes there are flaws with it but if you put a "merged from #OLDCHANNEL" badge then you can just look at all the ones that were merged/not merged to follow a conversation. I'd rather that small amount of more work than having identical channels due to poor naming.

This is a feature I need. Let's be honest, most channels on Discord don't need the continuity of the conversation. Admins need to stay flexible and should be able to update their channel list without losing old but still somewhat relevant content

This would be really useful- Discord please add this feature request!
I would like to merge a few related channels but I'd prefer not to lose some of the historical photos and posts. It's okay and I don't mind if the new collective thread didn't make 100% conversational sense after being merged together, it's fine if it's just chronological, haha.Alternatively, if would be great to be able to move select messages into another channel. Sometimes people accidentally post in the wrong channels, so being able to move messages would help for this use case and the former one, too.

for the love of all that's good in this world ;.; please make this a feature. Also the ability to have characters such as "+, &, and /" in channel names

Would be really great if this could be added... this has been going on since many years... please do it for those who really want it! :)

Like many people who posted above, this would be an incredible improvements to server management!!
I dont know if the Discord team actually look at what people want here, but if they do, then everyone checking here should just paste this link to their servers and asks people to comment and upvote! :) Then perhaps they'll listen ;)0 -
Please add this!

Will this ever be added?

Please add this, I've deleted far too many channels I wish I could've merged!

Posting in support of this. I have a few servers that were once very active and benefited from having 4+ "on topic" channels and 6+ "off topic" channels, but that is no longer the case. Now having all of these near-dead channels gives a bad ghost town impression, and it would be less prohibitive to post or read posts if channels were centralized. They no longer need to be separate. The possibility for messiness in the early chat archives remains, but in my opinion it's quite small and a negligible price to pay.
