Channels
Channels are where your community talks. Power Horse sets up a full channel structure when you apply a template, and lets you control who can see what from the dashboard.
Channel types
Templates create the standard Discord channel types:
- Text: normal chat channels (general, off-topic, support, and so on)
- Announcement: for broadcasts members can follow
- Voice: talk rooms
- Stage: hosted audio events like AMAs
Channels are grouped into categories (Information, General, Support, and so on) so the server is organised from day one.
How templates structure channels
Applying a template creates its categories and channels in one step. Some channels start hidden (for example staff or VIP channels), you can toggle which ones are visible on launch, and reveal the rest whenever you're ready.
Controlling visibility
Each channel has a permission matrix in the dashboard (Community → your server → Channels → a channel → Permissions) where you can hide a channel from a role by denying it View Channel. This is how you build role-gated areas, for example a Holders-only channel visible to a Holder role and no one else.
Verification & visibility
Channel visibility also powers member gating: until someone completes verification, the only channel they can see is #verify. Once they verify and receive the Member role, the rest of the server opens up.
