The format of the /join command, which is a Basic IRC Command, is /join #channel where #channel is the name of the channel you want to join.

You can also view the favorites folder by clicking on the favorites folder button in the toolbar or through the Tools menu.Īnother way to join a channel is to download and search through the list of active channels on a server by using the Channels List dialog. You can join one of the listed channels by selecting it and clicking the Join button. mIRC automatically pops up this folder the moment you connect to an IRC Server. The easiest way to join a channel is through the favorites folder where you can store a list of your favorite channels. Remember that each network you connect to has its own unique list of channels, created by users on that network. There are several ways to join a channel. In particular, the new network uses different server software and does not have ALIS available, although it happens to have similar filtering extensions to the /list command as the old one did.Once you have connected to an IRC Server, you can join a channel to talk to other people. The current 'freenode' is under a different management and has almost nothing in common with the old one (except for the domain name), while the majority of communities have moved to various other networks (OFTC, Libera.Chat, etc.)

The options -min and -max are not actually for /list, but for the /msg alis list command which calls the ALIS channel search service (which was a freenode-specific feature).īut note that the 'freenode' network that exists now is not the same as the 'freenode' network that existed for two decades until last month. WeeChat has a script available for more convenient /list interface ( /script install listbuffer.py), however, it is somewhat incompatible with the current versions and might end up crashing while retrieving the list.
