There's a new feature coming to Servers and Users, which is the new "Server Following" feature for Discord, already seems available for a variety of other games!
- With Server Following, you can now have automated posts with news about VRChat delivered directly to your server in a channel of your choice, using Webhooks!
(Server Following FAQ): https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028384531-Server-Following-FAQ
So users can simply press follow on a channel that is marked as "news" and set the channel they want to send the chat messages to, this might be neat for people that want to get the #announcements and #server-status over to their Discord Servers.
---------
Note: The Follow button is only available in News channels, labeled with the newspaper icon! Developers can learn how to make a News channel: https://support-dev.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027891611-Sell-Your-Game-on-Discord-How-to-do-it

Thanks for the suggestion! VRChat adopted announcement channels several years ago - you can forward the announcements from our official server to your own server.

This feature is only available to selected servers, so will only be available if VRChat is part of that group.

PhaxeNor: True, I've seen servers that have had it randomly for a lot of months now, considering VRChat is Verified they may be able to set it up but only some users or PTB Client users may be able to use it for now.
In the mean time, the thought of using the feature and suggestion is better early than late imo, at least a "Alright we'll do it when we're able to" :3

LazP: It's a server wide thing. The reason, I believe, that VRChat doesn't have it yet is because of the amount of users that they have. It's just too many for a test stage at the moment.
