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!
