🙌Slack Channels
Slack channels help you design the experience you want to have in the ColorStack community. You are in no way obligated to interact with everyone in our family. We highly recommend that you find the small groups of students that you identify with and build deep relationships there. This can be identity-based like gender and ethnicity, or interest-based like cooking and reading.
Default Channels
Upon joining the community, you will be invited to #academic-coding-help, #academic-homework-help, #career-interview-prep, #career-questions, #career-resume-review, #career-secured-the-bag, #community-bookworms, #community-events, #community-memes, #community-new-channels, #community-news, #community-productivity, #community-shameless-plug, #introductions, #onboarding, #opportunities, and #random
Other Channels
ColorStack is a large community with over 3000 humans populating over three dozen channels. Different channels have organically developed different personalities. We suggest that before posting in a channel that you take the time read the room. Specifically:
Read the last couple days of messages.
Examine the channel topic for helpful tips.
Click on the channel details and read the about section, get a sense of how many members are present, what messages have already been pinned, and what files have been shared.
