[Best OSX client imo is Textual.](https://www.codeux.com/textual/)

If a room seems dead, try starting the conversation. It might take a
little time for the other users to notice activity. Just mentioning
this because people keep thinking irc is dead when they wander into a
few rooms that are currently quiet and don't know where else to go.

Pay money for an IRC client? Joking right?

I did to support the developer but it's on github so you certainly
don't have to.
