I can't find anywhere to search for "perth kitesurf crew" etc.

on the upwinders website: http://www.upwinder.com.au/connection-app-slack.html

it says: In Perth, around 20 "channels" have been created including;Beginners2pm downdiner4pm downdinerWoodies CrewPond CrewMelville Crew AND MORE

But i can't search for them. I can search where it says "jump to conversation" and under that there is #general and #random but when I search even for "perth" it won't return with anything at all.

I am browsing on my own team, do I have to sign in to another team as in "downwinder 2pm" team?

This is some pretty complicated ****... I wonder how many people even use this? because there is no explanation or anything anywhere...

Here is an explanation of how to join the gerokitecrew slac team.

The structure is you register then need to be invited to join a team. The upwinder has an invite link for the perth team.

Then there are channels for different interest areas within a team. On a phone you swipe right a couple of times to go too the team selection page.
The desktop version is a bit more obvious. It had me scratching my head at the start too and ive worked in it for 35 years. Once you get signed in to a team it does work really well so persevere.

Cheers

Thanks for that info Dave, I didn't know you needed an invite. It really would've helped if that was advertised somewhere on the site. Hopefully this works! ;)

Is there a slack team for Sydney/east coast?
