How to Create Your Own Subcategory on TopBump

A category like "Developer Tools" is broad. A subcategory like "Developer Tools โ€” API Testing" is precise, and precise categories are usually easier to lead.

What a subcategory is

It's a child leaderboard nested under a parent category, with its own independent ranking โ€” your bid there doesn't compete against the whole parent category.

How to request one

  1. Go to the parent category page.
  2. Scroll to "Create a Subcategory" and enter a name.
  3. Pay the creation fee.

Just like categories, this is instant and automated โ€” approved and live the moment payment clears, or auto-rejected and auto-refunded if the parent category is already at its subcategory cap or the name's taken.
