Login into slack and list the workspaces

slack

I must be doing something real dumb because this doesn't make sense to me.

I just want to login to slack and get a list of all my workspaces I joined.

But slack only lets you log directly into a slack workspace.

You can get a list of your workspaces, but you have to enter your email and are sent a one time use link that brings you to a page that lists all your workspaces.

I don't get it, why cant I just have a page I can bookmark that lists all my workspaces and login into it with my slack username/pass?

It's remarkably confusing to add all of your workspaces when setting up a new device, and especially my OSX desktop client. This guidance from Slack about finding your workspace URL helped me learn to do it more efficiently (as of June, 2020):

From your browser, head to Your Workspaces on Slack
Enter your email address and click Confirm.
Check your email, then select Confirm Email Address. The email will say something like:

Once you've confirmed that XXX@YYY is your email address, we’ll help you find your Slack workspaces.

From the Your Workspaces page, go through each workspace and select "Launch" and then confirm that you want to use your Slack app if/when you get a modal. That should result in all of your workspaces being efficiently added to the UI in your Slack app.

Why is the Slack DM list incomplete

Here's what I got from Slack support:

I can confirm that what you’re experiencing is expected behavior, which I’m happy explain. Once you have more than 11 direct messages (DMs) or group DMs open, any additional direct messages are expected to fall off the list if the DM is not opened during your current session, there has been no activity in the DM in the past week, or there are no unread messages in the DM.

I’m afraid there’s currently no way to turn this behavior off, I’m sorry for the frustration this has caused you. I certainly can see how it would be useful to be able to view all your DMs listed in your sidebar. I’ve gone ahead and shared your experience with the right people on my team.

In the meantime, you can star all your key DMs to keep them all listed in your sidebar (:star: icon under a member’s name at the top) or quickly pull-up a conversation by using the quick switcher, Cmd/Ctrl + K.

Slack Dark Theme

In order to make slack dark you can do the following for OSX (as of today 7/30/2018).

1) open the following configuration file in a text editor such as sublime: /Applications/Slack.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/src/static/ssb-interop.js

2) Add the following code at the end:

/* Slack Dark Theme */
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
 $.ajax({
   url: 'https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Icebird/638220c4b3eb7f68c39431740fbd7eb7/raw/6565832413fb971a34d9cb1b23bf0f633504072c/slack-dark.css',
   success: function(css) {
     $("<style></style>").appendTo('head').html(css);
   }
 });
});

3) Re-open slack.

When I did this, I saw that the message backgrounds were black but the sidebar was a purple color I didn't really like. To fix that aspect of it I went into the slack Preferences option when clicking on the little down caret on the top left of the app then going into Sidebar option and scrolling down to themes and clicking Ochin or Work Hard...
