How to start with irc on windows. I am unable to connect and start conversation. ELI5 reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Madbrad200 · 2017-01-30 08:22 * What network are you trying to connect to (Snoonet, Freenode etc?) * What client are you using (Kiwiirc, Hexchat etc?). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- grobblin · 2017-01-30 08:23 Freenode & mIrc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- grobblin · 2017-01-30 08:27 I am connected to the channel and I see group mates on my right but, unable to see any convo going on. At first, thought that it might be confined to just one channel. But tried 6-7 channels. NO convo going on 6-7 channels sounded weird to me. What do you think? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Madbrad200 · 2017-01-30 08:38 Sounds like it's working, you're just joining dead channels. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- svn · 2017-01-30 10:28 lmao welcome to irc where nobody talks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AltReality · 2017-01-30 17:16 That's perfectly normal. Try to join a channel with several thousand users and you may see some conversation. Or join a channel with a significantly popular topic like #linux or #python or something....you should see some conversation happening in there at least, even if it's not the subject you are actually looking for, at least you can verify that your client is working. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- grobblin · 2017-01-30 19:39 Alright, trying that now!
