Hi, looking at [Find Help from the Elastic Community | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/community) it seems like that slack _community_ is public and you can and should easily join etc. [Sign up for a new account](https://ela.st/slack)

However, you can’t. It’s invite only and requires a @elastic.co address. So even signup/in with Google doesn’t work.

Is that on purpose? So either the login/invite should be fixed or the description because it sounds like it should be open for anybody

Thanks for reporting.

It sounds like the link is incorrect on the web page.

please try with [this temporary one](https://join.slack.com/t/elasticstack/shared_invite/zt-3captzl05-3h63BkwcwRY1I9jsvOodAw).

The problem is now fixed and I removed the temporary invite link 😉

Thanks @idl0r
