Official international channel
-------------------------------

- \#irssi at [Freenode](http://freenode.net/)- English only

Other channels
--------------

Many other networks like IRCnet, EFNet or QuakeNet also have `#irssi` channels.

There may be some international channels on IRCnet, like

- \#irssi.fi - Finnish
- \#irssi.de - German
- \#irssi.pl - Polish

If you have something to ask, **please JUST ASK instead of asking if you
can ask or if someone can help or if anyone is there**.

Servers
-------

To connect with Freenode, `/connect Freenode` or `/connect chat.freenode.net`

Most IRCnet servers aren't open for everyone, so if you're having trouble
finding one, use open.ircnet.net which resolves to a number of open IRCnet
servers that you should be able to use.

For EFNet, use `irc.efnet.org`, or check their website for more servers.
