Another common one is "y'all" but I'm not American enough to pull that off.

I call everyone nerds, and yall may think, not everyone is a nerd. Wrong.
Remember that jock from the football team, ask them about about sports betting. You will get a better lesson in sports statistics than you would by taking a college class. Everyone is a nerd about something.

An old boss of mine started most group conversations with "right then you cunts..." and it was set the tone straight away. No bullshit, no egos, and no dragging on the conversation. Top fella actually, one of the best leaders I've had. We were his cunts, and he was our better-paid cunt.
We had another bloke who was a proper cockney boy. If you were in his good books, you were a "geezer", and if you'd ruined his day then you were a "slaaaaag".
I'm guilty of addressing my squad from my very junior managerial position as "alright my dudes", which on the surface of it sounds very male-leaning, but I think since the 90s "dude" has become as gender-neutral as they come.
That, or you could go full Karl Jobst and kick off with "hello you absolute legends .."

"Stay fresh cheese bags!" Is how I'm saying "goodbye" now.

Alternatively, you can ask a crystal-hippie about quantum mechanics. Oh, well... we have LLMs nowadays, you can ask them anything.

As a joke, I'd probably say something like "and all the other ones". Hope that isn't offensive or something.

I swear I can hear your accent from text alone. I am surely wrong but thanks for writing that. It grabbed me.

I always lead with "What's up fuckers" when communicating with my nonbinary brothers and sisters

Risky joke - could get a laugh, could get you a meeting with HR without biscuits. It's worth a punt though if you know your audience!
If you make the joke a bit more explicit it tends to get a few more laughs, like "this one goes out to the tireless administrators, creative engineers, fantastic embeds... and Paul".
Only pull those stunts if you're happy to get the piss taken out of you in return though, else you'll look like a right tosser.

Limp Bizkit was ahead of its time for inclusive language. I identify as someone who doesn’t give a f*ck, and I felt very seen because of this lyric.

I always like to say "in between and beyond", for all our friends off the standard gender spectrum

I use "hi team", "hi everyone", "hi all", or simply, "good morning/afternoon".
