RocketChat
Way of organising channels
Currently there is no way of sorting or grouping the channels a user is in, except for completely hiding them. Over time, as the number of channels a user is in grows, the channel list gets messy and it becomes difficult to quickly find a specific channel.
My suggestion would be to add a feature which allows for
- either organising the channels in directories or groups (every user can have a different layout and is able to organise in a way that fits best for them)
- or the creation of subchannels which would allow the same functionality but globally, so all users have the same structure.
The exact implementation could look quite different than what I outlined above but should provide a way of organising many channels.
I couldn't find any similar issues, has this never been discussed before?
+1 for subgroups, i.e....
Rooms(Groups)
|__Channel 1
|__Channel 2
|__Channel 3
Direct 1:1 Chats
At this point I like the team concept of mattermost: https://docs.mattermost.com/help/getting-started/creating-teams.html
Are there any news to this topic? It would be a great Feature and could help us a lot 😁
We also need Teams. Also there has to be Team Administrators, that have more permissions inside Team channels.
This is the last essential feature that prevents us from entirely switching to rocket.chat
What about groupings in the side bar by taxonomy tags. A channel could be listed only once under the first tag or listed multiple times under each associated tag.
This will be a nice feature. Currently we are using rocket chat for all our notifications for many teams. It will really be helpful if we can group the channels
Collapsible would be a must. The feature request is nearly 4 years old, any update yet?
I agree with previous post. This feature is very interesting to organize our teams channel. Some ppl know equivalent feature in other tools and it could be to find the same thing in Rocket Chat to help improve is usage. Ty
This feature is even more important with the increase of remote teams.
I vote we bump this up to higher priority.
+1 for this too! It would be very useful. It also feels that we should be able to sort discussions as sub channels (since they are created within a channel). So it seems like a three level tree would be best: Room: top level which is just used to group channels > can give it a description but not for people to post messages Channels: top layer for people to chat Discussions: specific topic within a channel > effectively sub channels

This would be perfect.
+100 for this feature. Its really useful and would make things so much more efficient.
Check : Telegram's folder structure also. Everything is moving towards better organization.
THis would be cool -- I could split out for example Google Summer of Code by year!
+1 - lack of channel organization makes the communication tool get more and more cumbersome and intimidating with time. I'd love to see this feature (ideally for admins) with Rocket.chat! 💖
Here's what some competitors have done:
- Slack has this as a "sections" feature. On enterprise-grid you can control the sections for all users.
- Discord has categories and subchannels that admins can control
- Mattermost enables users to organize channels, but the admin can't organize it for all users.
