Public vs. Private Channels

Zulip offers flexibility in channel visibility, allowing organizations to configure channels as public or private on a per-channel basis. Public channels can be viewed without logging in, but currently, they aren't indexed by search engines. Linking to specific conversations enhances accessibility and context for users, making it easier to engage in ongoing discussions. The potential for self-hosting Zulip in a home lab is also explored, simplifying the setup process.
