Looking for some IRC conversations
reddit / irc

Hey all, I just found out about IRC. Sadly, it seems like every
channel I join is mostly empty/only full of bots. I would be happy to
join a private server made up of people dedicated to keeping IRC
alive. Anyone have an invite to such a server or recommendations for
where to hang out for IRC conversations?

Joining programming channels is great but I am also interested in
chatting about topics other than just #bash

Hey check out my server at
[letschatlinux.com](https://letschatlinux.com) port 6667 or 6697. We
are small and just starting out but all of us are friendly. :)

Several hundred of us are still alive and kicking over at
irc.afternet.org on ports 6667 and 6697. :D

Most of the channels I am in on freenode are active about the projects
they are about.

if you are into gaming/tabletops etc, I hang around globalgamers.. not
nearly as popular as it once was but there are still a good amount of
people

#reddit on freenode

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I own ##chats on freenode. It is a fairly brand new channel and has
about 60 users at peak hours during the day and around 50-55 users
online during the night hours but isn't usually active during the
night. (EST) it is an social channel for random conversations and
isn't very strict at all. Come visit us.

What's with the two ports? Freenode, also has 6667 and 6697. I just
started using irc like an hour ago.

In case you never got an answer 6667 is unencrypted and 6697 is the
SSL port where data is encrypted.
