Allow threads to become full channels, or channels to be converted to threads
Now that threads have rolled out officially, it'd be really great if their functionality could be taken another logical step forward and allow for conversion either to or from channels.
There are a lot of servers out there with channels they had to create that would definitely fit better as threads that could archive and then be restored as needed, not taking up a channel slot or being visible to uninterested members of the community. With threads now out, giving mods the ability to convert a channel into a thread, allowing for a rename and choosing a parent channel to link it to in the process, would be such a huge boost to the available functionality.
Additionally, as threads start to get used more and more it's very likely that some topics that felt ephemeral at first are going to become more ongoing than expected, and might benefit from the ability to take out of a thread and into a channel. Sure, you could archive the thread and create a new channel from scratch as a workaround, but allowing a conversion would be a better option that keeps conversation in the same place.

Perfectly said, was about to request the same thing. Would be the next logical step and would perfectly match how natural conversation evolves as well.

+1, especially to convert channels in to threads. Would like to keep an archive of those channels but they have become less active over time and make more sense as threads now.

Was just thinking the same thing, you put it very clearly so here's to hoping the devs take notice! ♥

Another vote for the ability to convert threads to channels. I moderate a server where we take suggestions for maps our artist is going to make, expand on the suggestion as a thread, and once the artist decides to do that map, we'd love to be able to convert that thread to a channel for further chat about it.

This feature is very much needed. Thread helps us keep channel creep to a minimum but sometimes they expand and need a permanent home. This would be a very graceful solution to that problem rather than loosing existing content to a thread when creating a new channel

I definitely upvote this proposed feature.
More important IMO for option to elevate threads > full channel.
To demote channels to a thread seems a lit more complicated and less useful (I'm sure there are valuable use cases though), as you'd have to select which Channel to nest it under, permissions may be different, and you can always just archive a channel or stick it in an "Archived" category.

This is very much needed. In fact i will be waiting for it to archive some now dead channels.

We really need this!

Please do this!

I was looking for this exact same request!

+1 for the thread —> channel functionality. Seems like the best of all worlds, if it enables small discussions to get bigger in a more seamless way.

Agreed, thread to channel conversion (and back) would be really useful. I'd also like to change which channel a thread is attached to.

+1 for this functionnality which is much needed! I was looking for ways to do this today and saw it's not available yet. Has discord said anything about developping it? btw discord is my favorite app ever!! big thanks to the discord team!

Be great to see this functionality, especially threads to channels for me.

+1 must have feature.

I googled if it's possible to convert threads to channels and vice versa, as there is a need at some point.
2 -
+1 this is gonna be essential

Just want to throw my comment in with the rest, this would be a Fantastic enhancement!

UPVOTE!

Totally agree ! I see the need for both, personally I would be mostly using the thread to channel conversion.
2 -
Yes!! Please make this a thing!! I'd love to keep my server clean, but I don't want members to lose the convos they've already started.
2 -
Yes! This is, in my opinion, the next best enhancement that can be made to the threads feature. It would make the management of discord channels and threads very powerful. Please plan this into the roadmap!

Definitely need this. Would allow discussions to breath life into a channel or die into archived based on interest of members. Would also be great for projects during brainstorming and development. If project launches properly convert thread to channel. If it fails to launch you just move on and let it archive.

Would really love the ability to turn threads into channels! +1!
2 -
+1! The thing I dislike most about the threads feature is the lack of versatility in comparison to channels.
2 -
Please make this a reality, Discord. There are some conversations that are worth promoting to channels, and being able to do that while maintaining the channel's history would be great.
3 -
Just bumping this up for Discord to notice! I agree that we need this to be a thing!
2 -
Bump, would be an awesome feature! Some threads become too much for a thread sometime🤗
3 -
this needs to be made a thing already along with the ability to merge multiple existing channels/threads into one
