What kind of tip would you need? What are you wanting out of it? Just search for channels with the title of what you’re wanting to chat about and go from there. Those people will probably guide you elsewhere if there’s a better channel for discussion. Toward the end of my use of it I was in a few invite only channels and most of everything was based around piracy. Also I was mainly on EFnet.
I guess that's a good point, just look up chats by subject, I guess I was just wondering if there are any major websites that people frequent; kind of like difference between lemmy communities versus reddit subreddits versus niche dotcom forums
Freenode used to be one of the biggest networks in the past decade or so, but a few years ago, after a hostile takeover it went to shite, so most people have moved on to Libera Chat. Unfortunately IRC in general is a lot less quieter and lot more fragmented these days - with the more privacy-oriented folks having moved on to Matrix, the more gaming-oriented folks moved on to Discord, and usually niche, or old school open-source stuff is now what remains (most of them on Libera).
