IRC Handbook for New Users

IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a simple and fast way to chat with others in real time. No tracking, no ads, just text and people.


Connecting to the server

Use your IRC client to connect to our server:

/server digitalnipilicarnik.shark-inter.net 8889

Use TLS/SSL to connect.

See the IRC clients page for a list of FOSS clients for your OS.


Setting your nickname

After connecting, pick a nickname:

/nick YourNickname


Joining a channel

To join a discussion room:

/join #chicks

Channels are identified by the # prefix.


Listing channels

See what channels exist on the server:

/list

If the list is long, you can filter:

/list #ch*


Private messaging

To send a private message directly to another user:

/msg <nickname> Your message here

Use /query <nickname> to open a private chat window (most clients).


Registering your nickname

To prevent others from using your nick, register it with NickServ:

/msg nickserv register <password>

Email is not required.

You will be logged in automatically at the same time.

Important: If you forget your password, the only way to recover it is by asking in the IRC channel — there is no password reset mechanism.


Logging in

To identify to an already registered nickname:

/msg nickserv identify <nickname> <password>

Note: nickname and password are separated by a space.


Basic commands in a channel

/motd – server welcome message

/quit – disconnect

/nick NewNick – change nickname

/me does something – action message

/help – help


All the little chickens at digitalni pilicarnik wish you a great time!
