https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/3843 relevant to us

Discord just rolled out "categories" to allow groupings of rooms BTW.

dominicm 2017-09-25T16:45:16.000433Z

Different use cases I think

dominicm 2017-09-25T16:45:32.000334Z

Categories would probably be like "web" in a clojure discord.

dominicm 2017-09-25T16:45:45.000339Z

Hierarchy would be a clojure tree, on a public matrix

As I understand it, that would allow me to have a “category” of “rooms I’m interested in” and then it should act more or less like Slack.

From what I read about Discord's categories, they are per-server and are set up by the admins. So you couldn't have your own categories.

seancorfield 2017-09-25T20:25:25.000564Z

(so they would solve a discoverability problem, perhaps, but they don't solve Discord's general problem of poor manageability of rooms -- and I don't believe Riot's hierarchies of rooms helps the general problem either /cc @dominicm)

dominicm 2017-09-25T20:27:09.000188Z

Hierarchies don't seem to be implemented yet. I'm assuming (generously?) that hierarchy would be implemented into the UI somehow, so you will click into the clojure tree, and can search within it etc.

seancorfield 2017-09-25T20:28:32.000238Z

Yeah, but it's still going to be per-server/admin-initiated rather than per-user, right?

dominicm 2017-09-25T20:33:35.000208Z

I don't think so. I've not seen any mention of permissions. But there's some notion that they'll be under a room. Given the references to communities, I think it would be suitable to us
