First, mute and collapse every channel category you don't care about. You only have to do this once, even if you restart Discord.
Second, click on the "Raw" button next to the file in this Gist named "COPY-THIS.js" (it's right below this readme). Then, press Ctrl+A
followed by Ctrl+C
. The code is now on your clipboard. We'll use this later. You must do this every time you restart Discord.
Step 1 below varies. The remaining steps are the same for Discord Web App and Discord Desktop.
Discord Web App
- In the Discord web app (in Firefox/Chrome/Edge): Press
F12
orCtrl+Shift+I
. This should bring up a Developer Tools window.
The exact command to access Developer Tools may vary, so Google it if this doesn't bring up the developer tools window.
-OR-
Discord Desktop App
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+I
to bring up Developer Tools.
For Web App and Desktop alike:
- Click "Console" tab.
- Paste the code contents using
Ctrl+V
into the console prompt (the line at the bottom) and press enter. Ignore Discord's warning about this code being dangerous; it isn't. - Now you can close the Developer console.
- After you scroll in the channel list, it may take up to 3 seconds for the extra categories to be removed.
- Repeat these steps if you restart your Discord desktop app or refresh/reload your Discord Web App.
