We're still testing this out, to see if people want this and if it works well (secure, usable, accessible, etc.). We support SSL, SASL, and all of the latest IRCV3 features.

To connect:

  • server address: rblind.com
  • port: 6667 (plaintext) or 6697 (SSL)
  • login method (if you have a registered account): SASL, SSL client certificate, or NickServ
  • channel: #main

If you're looking for an accessible client:

We're missing accessible android and mac clients thus far.

To answer some possible questions:

  • No, we won't bridge with Discord; it would cause too many moderation issues
  • The server we're running is Ergo
  • It's on the same box as Lemmy, and fully dockerized etc, so I don't anticipate any server stability issues
  • No, your Lemmy account doesn't sync with the IRC server; maybe someday!
  • We don't yet have a Lemmy post bot, but we might someday.

I get errors no matter what I try to do to get in because my nick isn't registered and something and there's no way I can register it because it doesn't let me in with any nickname.

Neat, just joined! It's been a while since I've used IRC, I feel so rusty lol.

why irc, though? it's such an old protocol and no one except foss people uses it.
