> On-boarding is a enormous part of why Slack is trouncing other instant messaging efforts Slack's separate sign-ins for each space is strange to me. On a new install, I can't log into my account and automatically be connected to every space I'm registered to.

That's no longer true and hasn't been for years. Coincidentally I was invited to Slack for user testing a couple years ago. They asked me to sign into slack and as I was going through that said, "you know what's really annoying? When I do this now I have to sign into each workspace." When I signed in, a list of available workspaces appeared. Turns out I was a user tester for exactly that feature.

  I suppose I hadn't made it to the proper test bucket when I installed Slack earlier this year.

  Like my sibling replier, this is not true to me. Every time I join a new workspace I have to sign in on every machine I have. I have to remember the workspace ID, which isn't obvious, and I have to go back into my email to when I was first invited to find what the workspace is. And if not I have to ask them to remember it for me, and they send me an email, and I click a link, and then I get this list of workspaces that I have, and then I can sign in. What's more, I feel like there have been instances where I've signed in on slack, and that auth went to a browser slack instance and not to the slack app. There are so many clicks involved and it's frustrating and stupid. Why.

  This is only true if you’re using the same email.

  > That's no longer true and hasn't been for years. That's weird. For me, I still need to log into every single Slack workspace separately. Most of them redirect to app.slack.com, however they have no visibility into each other. So it's several browser tabs kept open and left running in the background on those days.
