I can connect with Slack through jabber and chat with individual users, but I can't join channels. There are some instructions here, but I don't know which jabber commands to use. I've tried jabber-muc-join and jabber-groupchat-join, but neither of those seem to work. I use conference.name.xmpp.slack.com for the server name.

The Slack XMPP server doesn't provide correct information about chat rooms in response to an information discovery query. Could you try the following function and see if M-x jabber-join-slack-room lets you join the room?
(defun jabber-join-slack-room (jc group nickname)
(interactive
(let ((account (jabber-read-account))
(group (jabber-read-jid-completing "group: ")))
(list account group (jabber-muc-read-my-nickname account group))))
;; The Slack server does not return a proper disco result:
;;
;; 1. The disco response has no 'from' attribute. It should be
;; copied from the 'to' attribute of the request, so that the client
;; can correlate the request and the response.
;;
;; 2. The response doesn't contain an identity of "conference",
;; which jabber.el looks for to confirm that this is in fact a
;; conference room. (It would be confusing to try to "join" one of
;; your contacts.)
;;
;; 3. The disco response doesn't contain the feature
;; "muc_passwordprotected", so jabber.el doesn't know that it needs
;; to provide a password.
;;
;; Therefore, let's seed the correct information into the disco
;; cache before joining the room.
(jabber-disco-got-info
jc `(iq ((type . "result")

I brought these issues to the attention of the Slack team in March 2014.

When I invoke
jabber-join-slack-room, it returns a resultmemberfor every member on the team, as well asmember@name.xmpp.slack.com. None of the rooms appear in the result list. Jul 11 '15 at 22:42 -
Right, you'll have to type in
roomname@conference.name.xmpp.slack.com. Not sure if there's a way to get tab completion for existing rooms...– legosciaJul 12 '15 at 0:08 -
It's a bug.
I've raised a ticket on jabber.el, and notified Slack of the problem. Their first tier support has escalated it; hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
