Like everywhere i said this opinion it has’nt went well was my experience because i used the wrong server or something ? I felt like it was seveely underpolished and felt like i was in a ghost town like i get it there are uses like joining a foss project community but there is no internet randos to chat and the clunkiness threw me out immedietly . Anyway thoughts and opinions ? Also if anyone has tried IRC would you reccomend ? And do give a review .

    An IRC server runs many, many different channels, you can create a new channel by simply joining an empty channel.

    I would recommnd googling a subject you are interested in and adding IRC to the search and see where that takes you.

    The best IRC channels I have been in was smaller channels for smaller communities.

    I remember when our computer class in trade school set up our own IRC channel back in 2006-2009, it was brilliantly fun.

    I’d suggest connecting to one of the larger networks, back when I was active on IRC, I first started with QuakeNet, then slowly started getting on other networks like Freenode and Chat4All. The networks have very limited impact on what kind of channels they serve.
