I'm trying to improve my French. I'm on ##francais on Libera.chat but
it's basically dead. There are old posts on Reddit about this subject
but it looks like those channels don't exist any more. Thanks.

To search for channels containing python in their channel name:

/msg alis list \*python\*
To search for a channel whose topic contains the word foo:

/msg alis list \* -topic \*python\*
(the wildcards are required)

For other options, see:

/msg alis help list

Might wanna try ircnet for a network, that was the european side of
the great split.

Networks: Epiknet, Geeknode, Rezosup

And many popular channels in Libera have a `-fr` variant (eg. #python
-> #python-fr)

Zeolia is a 100% pure French speaking IRC network, the Staff and users
are pretty friendly too(as I don't speak french, so they speak English
for me).
