If this is a normal use-case (no public channels but chat enabled for private chat), then there should almost certainly be some kind of super-clear message stating e.g. “There are no public channels at the moment. You can only initiate a chat directly with other members.” Saying “you have not joined any channels yet” if there are none to join is needlessly confusing, isn’t it?
