>>927install weechat
now add a server, kolyma irc for example
/server add kolyma irc.kolyma.net/6697 -ssl
you can add -autoconnect too if you want to automatically connect to kolyma when you start your client
6697 is the ssl port, 6667 is the normal plain unencrypted irc port, and you need to pass -ssl for ssl of course.
now the keybinds,
alt+pgupscroll up
alt+pgdownscroll down
F5channel up
F6channel down
F11nicklist up
F12nicklist down
this should be all you need to know
you can set your nickname and hostname too, just run /set and scroll through the list, then set something like this for example:
/set irc.server_default.username chud,chud_,chud__
you will need whats called a bouncer if you don't want to miss out, that means running an irc client 24/7 to listen to the chat, because you need to be online to receive messages, a server doesn't send what you miss out on afterwards.
for that, either just run weechat on a server that runs 24/7 with tmux or GNU screen and detach from it, or set up znc or some other dedicated bouncer program, but i haven't bothered doing that and don't know how to since i just run weechat on my server.
