I would also love this. Ideally, I can have several channels that are open to everyone in the free community, and then 4+ private channels for my paid VIP members but that the free community members can see the channels, just not access them. This would create a ton of FOMO and they would be able to see what channels they are missing out on.

I prefer this to creating 2 separate communities or having hidden channels (which are also great for other reasons mentioned in this thread) but that the Free Community members can't see.

I'm so glad this is here. I'm building out a community currently with at least multiple private channels for paid members of varying programs, and it would be nice to have some only visible to members, but have an option to make them visible but they have to pay through "insert method here" to access it.

Yes. The current private channels are important and valuable. They are hidden only the members can see them. They are for interaction between specific people (admins running the group). But there needs to be an intermediate level, locked channels which require premium access.

Amazing IDEA is NEEDED

This will make it so much easier for an upsell into a paid channel acting as a tier 2 of my membership, rather than having to create a whole new group.

These would greatly reduce friction of an ascension pathway within a community. Ask members to join a different, paid community is a significant blocker.

This is so needed!

This will be awesome!
