I'm all new to this, but when I type /help in any channel, no output
appears (same with any other command, save /echo). However, I am still
able to chat. Can anyone explain this?

I don't know irssi specifically, but there tend to be more than one
"window" open:

One for each channel, and then one "status" channel, which shows the
server's MOTD, as well as the output of your commands.  Probably the
results of your commands are going there.

Try ALT-1, ALT-2, etc. to bring up each window.  This is also how you
can be in more than one channel at once.  Most likely the output of
your commands is going to ALT-1.
