IRC

There are several IRC channels on Freenode dedicated to IPFS, and it’s a great place for live chat:

Use #ipfs on irc.freenode.org for general IPFS usage and community chat.
Use #ipfs-dev on irc.freenode.org for discussing implementation details, especially if you are contributing code to IPFS.

For longer-lived discussions and for support, please use the discussion forums at https://discuss.ipfs.io instead of IRC! It’s easy for complex discussions to get lost in a sea of new messages on IRC.

If you’re new to IRC, there are lots of mobile and desktop clients for working with it. Here are a few to get you started:

IRCCloud on the web and desktop
Textual or Adium on macOS
mIRC or HexChat on Windows
XChat or Irssi on Linux
