What clients are you using that don't have an exhaustive network list in them? > how do I join a channel? The same way you do in Slack and other alternatives: you look at the channel list > how do I set my nickname? ... A good client, such as IRC Cloud, makes setting your nick name easy. Don't be lazy. Learn to use tools. > ... is this persistent? Yes, if you register it, and it's easier to register an IRC nickname than it is an account on virtually every other platform - no email/verification required. > oh someone else is using my name? is this for the channel or the server?? lol? > what's the etiquette of this particular channel?
