Is there a way to hide what channels I'm on when someone does a whois?

It depends on the server/network. Try +i

This depends on the IRC daemon.

​

For UnrealIRCd, it is usermode "p". (requires module
"usermodes/privacy")

For InspIRCd, it is usermode "I". (uppercase "i", requires module
"hidechans")

For ProvisionIRCd, it is usermode "c". (requires module "m\_whois")

​

Keep in mind that in most cases, IRC operators will still be able to
see your channels.

Only networks that hide unshared channels in a /whois with umode "i"
is freenode and some other obscure networks running ircd-seven.

\+s will hide the channel when people whois you.

Also when people do /list they will not see it.

/mode #channel +s
