Want to search for a specific topic? You can try /list *keyword* (in mIRC you don’t need the asterisks).You’re probably better off just finding people with common interests regardless of where they are, and just chat and have fun. Likewise, you can’t just search for somebody by their real name or location.

Note, however, that people in the channel could be from anywhere, not just that place.

Alternatively, you can always try guessing the channel name and /join #whatever. Many of the channels are “secret” and won’t be shown in such lists. You can search through a /list output as described above to find channels for reasonably large cities/states/countries such as #kampung or #bulgaria. Want to find people in your own city, or a specific person? IRC is not set up to make it easy to trace people geographically or personally.If this happens, see our troubleshooting guide or just use the web search engines below. Realize that on major networks, this list could include tens of thousands of channels, and may even cause you to flood yourself off. Want to get a list of channels on your current server? Once you connect to a server, you can get a full list of all public channels on that server or network by typing /list (on a new line in any window, beginning with the / character).If you only have the channel name but not the network, you can still try the multi-network lists below.

Want to join a specific channel? You need to know the name of the network or server and the channel name such as #whatevername (channel names start with a # symbol and do not contain spaces).

These are a few pointers for finding channels: On IRC, channels are where people meet and chat.
