Nested Category Not Displaying in Navigation
I've searched the forum and didn't find a solution. We're adding a large number of discussion forums, so I'd like to house these within a category inside the larger Discussions category. This is what...

Your community navigation is running with custom code.
OOB navigation of new responsive design is similar to that we have in KHOROS community.
You need to update the code for community navigation.
You can get the nested categories using below code replacing [parent_category_name].
SELECT * FROM categories WHERE ancestor_categories.id = '[parent_category_name]'
Thanks for your suggestion, Parshant! Looking in Studio, I'm guessing the custom component I need to edit is custom.top-navigation. However, I do not see the object you refer to. This is the code:
<#-----
Creates a horizontal navigation component for desktop. At smaller view ports the slide out menu will be used instead. The component supports
between 1 - 3 levels of nesting. See documentation for visual examples.
Options:
depth = [number] the levels of community structure to be shown in the nav
communityLink = [true/false] show a community home link
