You can mute topics in Zulip, which should keep it out of the way unless you decide to open it specifically. You can't really have topics if no one sees when they get created. Streams (similar to slack Channels) are not automatically joined. If you find there is too much noise, you may need to split the stream to have multiple more focused streams.
