Server: irc.libera.chat
Channel: #foobar2000

Note: before you can join, you need to register your nickname with NickServ.

If you join #foobar2000, don't do this:

[15:09] * user (user@example.com) has joined #foobar2000
[15:10] <user> help
[15:11] * user (user@example.com) has left #foobar2000

Don't say "can anyone help" and wait for someone to react. Just join and ask your question. People will respond if they know the answer.

Note that most of the #foobar2000 regulars live in Europe, and while some of us tend to stay up much longer than we should, chances for an immediate response are lower during night time in Europe.

There's now a german channel as well: irc.libera.chat / #foobar2000-de (http://irc://irc.libera.chat/foobar2000-de)

Regarding Third-party Component Help in IRC

We welcome discussion about third-party components in #foobar2000. However, many IRC users use very few third-party components. If you have questions about a specific third-party component, you should probably use the forums. In order to get help with a component, you need to find users that are both active and good at using that component. Often, there simply are no users like that around.

Due to recent self-destruction of Freenode, the above has been updated to reflect the current state of things, all channels now reside on Libera instead.

Update:
I personally warn everyone against using Freenode channels.

We are no longer in control of any of the channels, or nicks, and have no interest in registering and keeping them.
The nicks and channels were dropped for arbitrary reasons and with no prior announcement.
Freenode has become completely unpredictable.
I'm glad Libera was founded when it was, before shit really hit the fan.
