First Steps on tilde.pink

This is what I had to do to get started. No help is available until you reach the chat. I haven't used IRC since the 90s so I had some hard time figuring it out. Perhaps a shorter way exists.

In ~/.profile, add:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Log out and log in.

Go to

=> https://tilde.chat

and figure out which server do you want to use. For me, it's eu.tilde.chat.

Start irssi and do this (where tilde is an arbitrary name and eu.tilde.chat should be your preferred server):

/network add tilde
/server add -tls -network tilde eu.tilde.chat
/connect eu.tilde.chat
/channel add -auto #pink tilde
/join #pink
