Welcome to Slack! Think of Slack as the ‘hub’ of Generalist World. It’s the place we meet, message, ask questions and share things like relevant resources, personal wins and challenges that we’re facing.

How to use Slack:

1: You should have an email from Slack. Click “join us” to sign up / sign in to Slack.

2: Once inside, have a look around. We organize information and conversation by ‘channels’ which you can see on the left-hand side.

3: If you would like to make a post, simply start typing in the message box at the bottom of the relevant channel

1. If you would like to reply to somebody, hover over the right-hand side of the message until you see ‘reply to thread’. Threads help keep information organized into tidy message threads. Please don’t reply in the main channel, as this gets very noisy for everyone.

<aside> ⚡ Replies: should always go in a thread. New posts: should go in the “message channel” box.
