You can join a channel to add it to your list of channels. When you join, the channel appears in the sidebar so you can easily return to it, along with other channels you have joined.
Figure 1: Use Find a Channel to find community channels and join them.
What to Expect
- Private, non-discoverable channels do not appear in Find a Channel and you cannot join them yourself. To join, you'll need to be invited by one of the private channel's members.
- When you join a channel, you'll be added to the member list
- You can leave a public or private channel at any time, and rejoin public channels if you need to. If you leave a private channel, you'll need to be added back by a current member.
