In Discourse you can have nested categories only on two levels:  
Category → subcategory.

You can’t have a subcategory inside a subcategory.

Maybe use tags?

I always thought it was category / subcategory / topic. As far as I recollect, Discourse doesn’t go down farther into the tree. Correct me if I’m wrong, because if it does allow subcategories within subcategories, I could sure use them for a couple of subcategories that some of my users are making “noisy.”
