So I have juiceSSH on my Android, but I don't know how to connect to
IRC. I keep getting Connection closed by foreign host.

Juice is an ssh client, not an IRC cliet.  You want something more
like andchat.

JuiceSSH is a CLIENT for connecting to SERVERS using the SSH protocol.
**You can not connect to IRC using an SSH client.** You can use the
client to connect to a server  that runs an IRC client but that is way
more advanced than youre probably ready for. So heres some info for
you:

You require a client (there are hundreds), and other people own
servers. The client must be told the address of the server to connect
to.

Typically, the ownsers of the servers will own a group of servers,
which is called a *network*.

I will use snoonet as an example since that is where the main Reddit
chat rooms (channels) are.

The network owner creates a DNS record created to connect people to a
server. Snoonet's is: **irc.snoonet.org**.

#To connect:
1. Download an IRC app, I prefer AndChat on the Google Play Store.
1. For the server put in irc.snoonet.org
1. Leave everything else default.
1. Pick a [channel](http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=Snoonet).
1. Profit.
