Just try a modern graphical IRC client. It's all menu/GUI driven. You have a list, often preset with all the IRC servers, worldwide. Just choose the one you want and add it to "Favorites". There, list all channels, search the ones, that cover your topic (via text input box) and add them to "Autojoins" or "Favorites". The preset gets created automatically, either globally or per network. In other lingo, it's called: an application's preferences.
