Allow users to create taxonomies/categories to sort streamers they follow.
I would like to be able to sort the streamers I follow into different categories, perhaps based on a taxonomy system. For instance, I follow a lot of Rocket League streamers, I also follow a lot of Zelda streamers, and I follow a lot of musicians. I would like to be able to tag these streamers. So I may tag Rocket League streamers with: "Rocket League," "Games," "Funny," etc. And I may tag music streamers with "Original Music," "Covers," "Funny," etc. Then when I go to my follow page, I could easily sort and display streamers I am in the mood to look at.
In the example above, to take it further, if I clicked "Funny," I would see Rocket League and Music streamers who I've tagged as "Funny," and that's fine with me.
To take it even further, perhaps I could even choose to view other viewers' recommended tags (it could be like the Recommended section at the bottom of the follow page currently), to discover new "Rocket League" streamers or "Original Music" streamers, etc.
Thanks!

Would like to sort platforms also. Some games streams I watch and find out later that they are on computer or playstation. Would like to know before I get interested in game.

I would like to be able to organise my followed channels into folders (Art, Music, Horror, Sport, Favourites etc) to make it easier to find what I'm in the mood to watch.

I'd love to be able to organize the [FOLLOWED CHANNELS] list in folders. For example, I follow 'study with me' channels for when I study, gaming channels for when I am in relaxation mode and music channels for those moments when I want to party but there is a mix between them in my list because there's no way of organising them.

Can we get a group feature so we can make groups for streamers / channels we follow. i would love to see a way i can group streamers / channels by games, friends, etc etc. like on discord i create groups for all the servers ive joined. helps me to easier find the place im looking for. would be helpfull to get this with twitch as well. its a shame to have to remove a "follow" just so i can see the rest of my channels better.

So my idea would be to able to organise your twitch following page into different category's/folders so that you can keep "IRL Streamers" together and "Fornite Streamers" together etc.
It may sound complicated as such but honestly I feel like it would be a great call for people who like to have a bit of organisation -

It would be awesome for the user/viewer to be able to create folders/groups that could be used to organize the followed channels that are online. For instance, I might want to sort them by genre, game, my frequency/priority for watching, etc. This would allow me to watch streams easier and support more streamers.
Note: This is primarily referring to the active streams displayed on the left side of the screen while watching a stream.

I also think that a folder creation system where we can insert streamers according to our pleasure to date would be really a very useful function. I would really love to have it.

Do this Twitch. I use a browser extension that does that and since I installed it I've been following A LOT more streamers cause I know I won't miss when my favorite ones are live, even if they have a low viewer count, cause they show up at the top of the list. It would be great to have that on mobile as well with an official implementation of this feature.

I would enjoy having the ability to create and manage my followed list into various categories. I certainly have a preference of what channels I like to watch regularly versus others that I watch occasionally or very rarely when there's almost no one else on. And it would be nice to be able to sort that as right now I actively avoid following people because I don't want to clutter my list and have a bunch of noise.

Hello Twitch staff or whoever,
Just a suggestion or an idea maybe you can explore. (not sure if it's already somewhere here but here's it).
As some viewers follow a whole lot of streamers, with different types of streamer (league of legends, world of warcraft, valorant, just chatting, etc)
Maybe there is a way to click and drag different viewer into different catergory that can be set by users?
eg. Creating 3 category of streamer that I follow, (LoL, WoW, Valorant) and drag the streamer into a category with a collapsible menu.
This way, when I come onto twitch and feel like watching a particular type of content, I can instantly click instead of scrolling through 50+ followed channel to see which is which.
As for a streamer, this can also help them categorize their "teams" or a list of people they can raid/host before they end their streams. This way streamers have a simple way to see who they can raid at the get-go from a list instead of having to check if they're currently online and streaming.
just a suggestion! :D

It be a great idea if you could stick your followed channels in a group like why you followed them you can make a group for what game they where playing for [EXAMPLE] have a group called NO pixel Rp and have all your favourite streamers in that drop down group .. hopefully that made sense just trying to improve twitch

Be able to group followed channels into certain groups/folders to easily organise that long list of channels and endless scrolling. Grouping to keep channels of a certain community together - I meet a lot of new people in different communities daily and by the time they go live I'm not always sure from which community I met who from. This would be a tremendous help especially when it comes to networking.

favorite or pin channels in a private list on the top would be nice, I follow a ton of channels but love to favorite, my cousin, or friends.

Zero86Sk commented
having an option to favorite or pin channels in a private list or to the top, would be amazing

I was thinking it'd be cool to be able to categorize channels you follow so they appear under sections on your following page. Could add a "+" button next to the follow button on a channel to add them to/create categories.
Then on the following page you could have for example a "Regulars" section for channels you visit all the time, then ones for "GTA RP", "Valorant", "just chatting" etc etc.
It'd be an easier way for someone to get straight to what content they want to watch out of the people they follow. And the user decides what categories they want to make and who goes in what category.

Sería lo ideal esto, así cada quien puede tener agrupados a que streamers desea ver sin la necesidad de que le muestre siempre los que más viewers tienen

Es buena la propuesta, creo que quien mejor la ha desarrollado ha sido jcvaughan en su comentario, que esa agrupación sea como la que tiene Discord, lo ideal.

RenoFriends commented
Seria genial poder agrupar por categorías, así como de menor a mayor para que los que menos viewers tienen no quedasen enterrados abajo del todo
