I am trying to build a Discourse site but I’m having trouble with Categories and subcategories

I need to have a Category show on the left and when someone clicks on it, it shows subcategories on the page that opens. Then if they click on one of the subtopics a page will open with Topics just for that subcategory.

I will try to outline what I mean.

**Futures Market (Main Category)**  
_Precious Metals (Subcategory)_  
_Energies (Subcategory)_  
_Meats (Subcategory)_  
_Metals (Subcategory)_  
Gold (topic under Metals)  
Silver (topic under Metals)  
Copper (topic under Metals)  
_Grains (Subcategory)_  
Corn (topic under Grains)  
Wheat (topic under Grains)  
Soybeans (topic under Grains)  
Soymeal (topic under Grains)

I’m not sure if this is possible or if there is a better way to do it.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
