My bad Slack experience:
- you should register for every channel
- switching the channels is slow & non-intuitive
- tons of sub-channels and collaborations between are painful
- krilly 7y agoDiscord is much better for collaboration simply by virtue of it being simpler, I've found. Web client works great
- Johnny555 7y agoyou should register for every channel Some would consider that a feature, you only see the activity of the channels you've joined (but you can search for others at any time and you can preview messages in them before joining). switching the channels is slow & non-intuitive isn't "/join #channel-name" the same way you switch channels in IRC?
- lifthrasiir 7y agoMost IRC clients allow you to quickly switch to frequently viewed channels via shortcuts (even irssi, a terminal client, does that). With Slack it is a clunky Ctrl-K and a first few letters of the channel name that may or may not lead to what you really want.
- madeofpalk 7y ago?? Slack has shortcuts for both of these. Cmd+0,1,2,3 to switch between orgs, opt+up/down to switch between channels. And also, as you mentioned, cmd+k for search-switching
- lifthrasiir 7y agoI know Slack does support shortcuts, but search-switching is inferior to a direct shortcut. Let's say that you frequently use channels a and b in the org A and a channel c in the org B (this mode of operation is common). How do you get to a, b or c without even looking at the screen?
- hultner 7y agoYep, must say I miss the Escape-sequences for changing channels. Works fine via wee-slack though but unfortunately you need permission to join via wee-slack since it requires an API-key.
