  Vortex (@mjparme) reported 8 minutes ago

  @SlackHQ why is there no obvious way to join a channel in Slack? Seems like a huge usability problem, the + sign next to channels creates a channel, but joining one is very elusive

  @RobSwish @SlackHQ Does restarting the app fix it?

  @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Did Linear do this before agents? I tried project-level Slack channels at my org and found it works for enterprise engagements nicely, but breaks down at feature/epic level projects for our SaaS. There's a granularity sweet spot, too fine and context switching costs spike. Too coarse and projects blur. Plus no project is actually isolated in small teams, so cross-project conversations forced more people onto each channel and productive engagement suffered. I get the AI context-confinement angle, but curious what other benefits you're seeing?

  @SlackHQ @question_base can't use these features when your app is down my friend

  Is @SlackHQ broken today - I am using Focus mode - seems like the emoticons are breaking.

  Friday thought. @stewart raised $17 million to build a video game. 3 years of work! 40 people. And almost nobody wanted to play it. He shut it down in December 2012 and laid off most of the team. The only thing left standing was the chat tool they'd built to talk to each other while working on it. That tool was @SlackHQ. @salesforce bought it for $27.7 billion. The thing you're building in the quiet stretch isn't wasted. Sometimes it turns out to be the actual product.

  @chriskim_dev @Teknium No problem. I think its more of a @SlackHQ problem, but happy to check if I can fix it in Hermes and push a PR

  @gustaf @ycombinator @SlackHQ I’d say Slack. Haven’t really experienced those issues you mention. Unless my internet is very bad. iMessage/whatsapp overly phone and counterparty focused so I’m more often wondering if the message actually got delivered or not and if the problem is me or them. Slack is more of a server and it doesn’t send the message if it doesn’t work.

  @NebulaAI @safizaq @SlackHQ discord integration is kinda broken, like i keep having "nebula" links showing, if you can fix that, that will be perfect.

  @SlackHQ issues connecting to a new workspace. Where can I get support?

  @adjohu @SlackHQ The crypto community loves the idea of Wild Static, do you have a solana wallet we can donate to to help fund you vision?

  Jon Slemp (@Jon_Slemp) reported 37 minutes ago

  Bug report for you @SlackHQ — when receiving a DM notification from Agents, and those agents are setup as Slack apps you have to DM directly in an app channel, once you hit a certain number of chats in your history tab you can no longer navigate to the DM directly by clicking the DM notification on mobile. You basically get navigated to a blank screen and effectively chat find the message ever. Please fix. This is a disaster of a bug.

  @thdxr @SlackHQ No one wants all replies to show up in the channel. It is a terrible defauu.

  @samlambert @joshmgross It’s almost impossible to mention a bug in Slack and get anyone at @SlackHQ to fix it.

  first you need to fix the rate limits @SlackHQ

  @SlackHQ The new Activity view is an amazing improvement. One thing that would make it better: the same thread can appear multiple times (for example the original post and a reply). It would help to allow deduplicating threads from the list.

  @SlackHQ there is issue with your cache where you store message send failure and likes

  Björne 🇸🇪🏋️‍♂️ (@SilchQuatch) reported 46 minutes ago

  @QuinnyPig @SlackHQ Every single unwarranted notification births months of hate inside of me. Literally anti-ads for me, any pattern of it and I immediately remove the service. I guess it has to work or it wouldn't be done?

  @daniielezeh @SlackHQ Bruhhh, valid question 😭 I've been having issues with the ******* video playback. I didn't even know it was possible to have worse video playback than twitter.

  @gustaf @SlackHQ Notifications are the bandaid for broken reliability. WhatsApp stays quiet because it works.

  Paul Sant · Telecodex (@YouPulseX) reported 54 minutes ago

  @pizzaboy @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Then "project channel" is a default, not a scope. The issue list command still follows the caller's workspace visibility.

  MarketingMax.com (@MarketingMax) reported 54 minutes ago

  I never call out bad marketing But this is just infuriating. I pay them thousands of dollars a year, have the app installed in my computer, phone, and even iPad … so why did I get this? And why is it not optimized for dark iPhones? Let me know if you need help @SlackHQ @Benioff

  siggy bilstein (@sbilstein) reported 54 minutes ago

  @evisdrenova hmm kinda like Kaniko caching locally, but I think the problem is that the industry has broadly gotten used to very slow deploy pipelines. Back when I was at @SlackHQ in like 2018, we used to SCP the monolith across the fleet and deploy in a couple minutes. Containerization is awesome for various reasons but it has gotten an entire generation of developers to just expect builds + deploys to take at least 15 and usually closer to 45. I do wonder how much perf you could squeeze out with replacing BuildKit but I imagine it's already highly optimized. I just *feel* like developers shouldn't have to think so much about why their builds are slow.

  @NotionHQ @SlackHQ Channel-scoped agents fix the biggest AI rollout blocker — broad access feels risky to admins. Smart default.

  /copy from Claude -> paste in Slack -> doesn’t keep the formatting. @SlackHQ please fix

  Theodor Marcu (@theodormarcu) reported 1 hour ago

  Putting an agent in Slack creates a very different type of UX problem: it has to know when to shut up We spent a lot of time tuning when Devin should speak, stay quiet, or move work into a separate channel. Devin was the first agent to support Slack natively, so it was great to bring 2 years of those learnings to @SlackHQ for the Slack Code launch.

  @SlackHQ @notion the only repetitive question saved here that matters is 'is the otp service still down.' second only to 'is the otp service still down for everyone or just me'

  There was Pay by Eye, by Ring, by Watch… time to Pay by Juice? 🧃💳 Okay, this one was just a joke created by Callum (FrostyTrollz). But 10 years ago, paying with your watch or ring also sounded ridiculous. A great example of how today’s joke can become tomorrow’s product is.. @SlackHQ The team behind Slack was actually building an online game called Glitch. As the founders later mentioned: “The game was absolutely preposterous.” Eventually, the game failed and was shut down. However, the internal chat tool they built to communicate became more valuable than the game itself. That tool became Slack, now used by millions of teams. 🌱 Follow for more wild growth-hacks
