I use the Slack repo for Fedora. slack.repo
[slack]
name=slack
baseurl=https://packagecloud.io/slacktechnologies/slack/fedora/21/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=https://packagecloud.io/gpg.key
sslverify=1
sslcacert=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
name=slack
baseurl=https://packagecloud.io/slacktechnologies/slack/fedora/21/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=https://packagecloud.io/gpg.key
sslverify=1
sslcacert=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
Works very well and is updated regularly
More info at https://slack.com/downloads/linux. Also available as a snap but I avoid snap applications. I seem to recall some security issues with them a while back.
Best,
Clifford

You mean this slack?
Slack is a proprietary business communication platform developed by American software company Slack Technologies. Slack offers many IRC-style features, including persistent chat rooms organized by topic, private groups, and direct messaging

?
"proprietary" would be a big clue as to why it isn't part of Fedora.
But, you do have.....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ dnf search slack
