Good day everyone,
I am trying to connect to #trinity-desktop with kopete and always get an empty chat window. I don't have much experience with kopete/IRC and am frustrated cause I can't find the reason why it doesn't work. I have a few questions about kopete:
1.) Are the server lists still up-to-date and usable?
2.) Do I have to register to join #trinity-desktop? (which wasn't necessary 1 1/2 years ago, IIRC.)
3.) kopete seems to try only one server at connect and after timeout or when it failed (I don't know, no message) it stays offline and doesn't try another or the next server in the list. This happens with #irchelp on EFNet. Also it doesn't always seem to connect to the first server in the list as an priority. Is this normal/expected?
However, I am able to connect to other channels like #bash, #freenode-community, #devuan and others.
I got stuck and feel puzzled. Kopete's UI doesn't help me either. Please forgive my ignorance and advise on probably basic things. What do I miss?
Kind regards, Stefan

Yes, you now need to register and identify to access the channel. See here for example: https://freenode.net/news/spambot-attack If you google a bit, you will find the instruction to follow to register. Cheers Michele

Thank you.
Maybe this should be mentioned on the tde page: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/support.php
That could have saved me quite some time.
Kind regards, Stefan
