Trickier ways of connecting

This is for geeks. If you have an IRC application installed use the following information:

  • The Lojban IRC channel is on the Libera IRC network. Use irc.libera.chat for the server, port 6667 (or 6679 for an SSL-encrypted connection). Registering with NickServ is recommended.
  • The three channels are used:
    • #lojban for basic discussions in any language,
    • #ckule for questions from new learners in any language,
    • #jbosnu for discussions in Lojban only,
    • #proga for lojban-related software development (such as parsers).

It is recommended, but by no means required, that you learn what IRC is by briefly reading some of the IRC Frequently Asked Questions or The IRC Prelude.

You may also use irssi command line app on your server to keep the whole log of chat activity.

Conduct

There are almost always more than 100 people connected, but since they live in different timezones most of the time, they'll be idle. Say coi, hit Enter and wait. Get a soda. Practice your vocabulary. But be patient. Dedicated IRC'ers don't sit in front of the computer 24/7 waiting to respond within 10 seconds of everything said. Think of it as sort of a fast moving message board.

You might also have a look at the IRC cheat sheet, which contains a list of translations of frequently used expressions.

IRC Bots

Rules

Just behave and be respectful, don't intentionally try to annoy others. Don't worry though, usually you'll only annoy people if you're actively trying.

Logs

There are public logs of the utterances in Lojban of the IRC channel[2].

The logs are filtered so that they contain only Lojban text. However, you might still be offended by the things discussed there. If you are, that's your problem and the LLG explicitly disclaims responsibility for anything said on the IRC channel, including by members or officers of the LLG.

Furthermore, no guarantee is made as to the correctness of the Lojban therein. Nonetheless, the IRC logs currently constitute one of the largest corpora of Lojban text.

Discussion Topics

A list of interesting discussion topics, about the nature of the language, is being actively maintained and copied into this wiki. They often include specific terminology. The discussions are presented as is, copied from the IRC channel.
