I personally use libera.chat because it's the most active IRC server out there. is there any other active servers? I found this website to search for different IRC servers https://netsplit.de/networks/

I like thelounge as a client since I can access it anywhere in the world and it stays connected when I'm not on it so I don't miss any messages or have to log in each time.

IRC is open. If you aren't around, someone can join the server using your nickname, so IRC services were created to help combat this. Some networks use other services, but mainly there's NickServ which you setup an account with to register your nick. If anyone tries to impersonate you, NickServ will do bad things to the imposter

How do I register with one of these nickservs? I tried with an android client but I couldn't figure it out.

[–] DannyMac@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Usually /msg NickServ help can get you pointed in the right direction

Keep in mind that libera chat is just one server. If you hop on some other server you will get different channels (rooms) and people. I'm on a few including libera chat, sdf.org, and AfterNET.
