You can do that with a bouncer. Slack and Discord are essentially a chat server with an integrated bouncer.

- _emacsomancer_ 8y agoThough setting up an IRC bouncer is not exactly a trivial task. (It's one of the things on my summer to-do list.)

- progval 8y agoAren't there services that offer bouncer hosting, with some default config?
- crtasm 8y agoI recommend also trying Weechat running in screen/tmux on your server, connect to it over SSH. Znc+mirc did work for me but things like scrollback and access from multiple devices are much nicer now with just my Weechat instance.
