06/16/2022, 6:38 AMFor any topic, just start discussion threads in #random or #tribe (no need to ask permission or ask "Can i ask here?". just go ahead and ask/share. š)
If there's a lot of participation / it gets too noisy, one can then create dedicated channels anyway šš¼

Relationships is a personal topic.. not sure talking about it in broad channels would yield any good discussions.. a dedicated channel might make sense for people who want to discuss it w/o judgments. nomadlist has such a similar channel and it's quite wholesome and welcoming

06/21/2022, 3:44 AMI feel awkward to talk about relationships in broad channel. I don't want to disturb who are not interested. If we have a separate channel, people can mute it as per their wish.

06/21/2022, 4:03 AMOK. Then go ahead create a channel (say relationships).
Set the channel's description/topic accordingly.
Announce it in random (or let Avi know to announce it in #announcements).
and start sharing your questions/comments in the new channel

06/21/2022, 4:08 AMI don't want to disturb who are not interested.Based on my experience with multiple Slack workspaces. This is unavoidable. š Existing users will not know to join a new channel unless ā¢ they are informed (or "disturbed" as you put it š) about it a couple of times ā¢ and they can see some relevant content/discussions. So after creating a channel, if one does NOT see much traction, be prepared to cross-post links to any Qs / comments from the new channel to existing related channels to get potentially interested folks to join. šš¼

Looks like there might be configuration to be done in this particular workspace.
i asked *Avi *(the only Slack admin of this workspace that i know).
