If you want a client that runs in your terminal, [https://irssi.org/ Irssi] is also an excellent choice, but it isn't as beginner-friendly.

Whichever you choose, chatting is just a matter of setting up your client, joining a server, and then joining a channel.

			== Bots ==

			Some IRC networks have bots, which are automated users that respond to commands. Some have an administrative function, like NickServ on Rizon and other networks, which allows users to register nicknames. In #general on the Space Hippie network, we run [[TempleBot]], which lets you talk to God, just like [[Terry Davis]].

(For information about using our bouncer, see [[Bouncer|that page]])

IRC is easy to use, and it's easy on your internet connection. First, you need a client. The best graphical client is [https://hexchat.github.io/ HexChat]. If you want a client that runs in your terminal, [https://irssi.org/ Irssi] is also an excellent choice, but it isn't as beginner-friendly.

In HexChat, a network list should appear on startup. Select a network, select a channel, and chat away. If you frequent a channel/network, you may consider setting it to auto-connect when you open your client, so you can disable the network list on startup. You can also add networks that aren't on the list, like the Space Hippie network!
