Step by step instructions to join #reddit on IRC (using Colloquy) reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-08-14 00:07 ...my n00b head is about to explode I posted the url into my browser and nothing happens. It just links to google. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-08-14 00:07 I'm almost in the 3 year club and I'm joining this bandwagon fairly late, but better late than never. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-08-14 00:15 fuck it. gonna keep playing with it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lord_Zero · 2012-08-14 00:30 Just go here and pick a nickname. http://webchat.freenode.net/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aperson · 2012-08-14 00:56 If only the chat was still on freenode. http://webchat.snoonet.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lord_Zero · 2012-08-14 04:47 what is this?! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- teklord · 2012-08-14 11:10 * Get an irc client. * RTFM * ???? * Profit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lindsayadult · 2012-08-14 15:00 open colloquy > new connection > enter irc.snoonet.com > port 6667 (this is standard for MOST irc networks) > connect right click on the connection, general info (not sure about this exactly) but make sure that your nick is what you want and that your personal info ie: full name isn't showing, disconnect, reconnect, join room #reddit ??? profit edit: I really hope this helps someone! also sorry if it's not 100% accurate, I'm trying to do it from memory ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rChan · 2012-08-14 17:18 http://i.imgur.com/5hcJc.png ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aperson · 2012-08-14 17:19 Yes, and did you read the topic for #Reddit? It's telling you to go to snoonet. Snoonet is the new 'official' irc network for reddit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rChan · 2012-08-14 17:21 Just because the people who set the topic want to play with their own network doesn't mean anyone else has to care. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rChan · 2012-08-14 17:30 By the way, there's no mention of "official" in the #reddit topic on either network, blog.reddit.com, or r/announcements. At best you could say that it's the "official" network of r/irc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-08-14 18:22 correct. moved to snoonet. freenode is unofficial ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aperson · 2012-08-15 07:26 Which is what I did... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aperson · 2012-08-15 07:27 It's also listed in the sidebar here and is where the admins moved to (though they still stay in #reddit-dev on freenode). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rChan · 2012-08-15 12:53 It doesn't read that way >Snoonet is the new 'official' irc network for reddit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rChan · 2012-08-15 12:54 The r/irc sidebar doesn't mean much to me. And I haven't noticed any reddit admins on snoonet, unless you're referring to people like paradox and fedv, which also doesn't mean much as I would expect them to e on their own network. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aperson · 2012-08-15 18:16 All of the reddit admins (that usually are on irc) are present on snoonet, except for maybe chromakode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zainahsan · 2012-08-27 20:04 I'm still having trouble. It won't connect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FlyinEye · 2012-09-05 09:43 I wrote a tutorial on using mibbit because so many people here have been asking how to connect. So if you don't want an IRC client, you can check my mibbit tutorial [here](http://redd.it/zdw69)
