Salish Mesh ~ Local channels used on Salish Mesh

What are local channels?

Local channels are usually in the form of hashtag channels. These are an easy way to share a private channel with others. It is important to remember that anyone can join the channel if they use the same hashtag, i.e. #test.

That said it's easy to tell someone over the mesh, hey join #southisland, and they will be able to click the tag and join the channel.
