I host a Slack instance for Faster Than 20 projects and my colearning community. All of my project channels are open, so others are welcome to join them and listen in or participate. People are welcome to create private channels as well.
Recommended Configuration
By default, Slack turns on a lot of notifications. The first thing I do is turn most of them off on all my apps (web, desktop, mobile, etc.), keeping on only:
- Direct messages
- Called by username (i.e. @username)
I have a Mac, and I prefer using the app over the web. I generally keep the app open while I'm in front of my computer and working. It's relatively distraction-free, since most of my notifications are off, and it allows me to jump in easily to start conversations or leave notes.
