Several web sites maintain lists of channels. Once connected to an IRC network,
you can also
try the very useful list
command to find those on that network.
There are thousands of different IRC channels, on every subject under the sun.
For example, a few of the well known, popular IRC channels are listed below.
- #chat
- #chatback
- #hottub
- #ircbar
- #politics
One of the best way to find channels you are interested in on a specific network
once you are logged in is with the list
command.
You can also find channels by geographic location. There are many IRC channels
established for people from various cities, although of course
anyone in the world may
join
them.
For example,
the channels
#toronto
and #new-york are often full of people from those cities as well as various virtual
tourists.
