Feature Request: Pre-select channels #211

In most servers, there are channels that are useless, like bot spam, unrelated chat, etc. It would be nice to be able to mark channels in a server that you want to go over or ones you want to exclude.

I find myself having to constantly watch discord to see if it's reached the end or disconnected so that I can select the next channel to go over (I think I just wasted the last half hour doing so), since right now I'll end up downloading a bunch of junk if I just let it go automatically.

On the other hand, since the history tracker doesn't automatically switch between groups of channels in a server, I also need to watch it carefully, so that's another request I'd add to this one.

Still, this thing is a treasure to humanity, so frankly I'm just glad it exists at all, so I'd like to thank you for making and maintaining it.

I need some way for DHT to know which channels exist and how to switch between them, the current solution for switching channels hasn't worked "properly" since Discord introduced channel groups and then followed it up with threads, forums, voice channels, and whatever else exists nowadays that DHT can't automatically detect.
