I want this to happen, too!

@mcwumbly I’m copying over the helpful messages that you gave in the #chat-feedback channel so everyone’s ideas of workarounds like in this topic.

Our current focus is on making channels #mentionable which we think will have a big impact on discoverabiliy.

(We'll be kicking off a new topic for folks to test that feature next week)

Very long winded way of saying, that _for now_ I'd do one of two things:

- Link liberally to [https://meta.discourse.org/chat/browse/open](https://meta.discourse.org/chat/browse/open), where people can view all available channels to join
- Link to specific channels in relevant topics

I do think it's _likely_ that we'll want to show channels on category pages too, but it's not something we've put time into exploring deeply or designing yet.
