Some IRC channels are restricted to registered users only. In this document, I'll explains how to connect to those channels from Matrix.
In particular, I'll take the example of the Matrix room #gamingonlinux-irc:matrix.org since it is plumbed to the IRC channel #gamingonlinux on Libera.Chat and this channel is for registered users only.
If you don't already have a registered user on the Libera.Chat, you first need to have one.
- Open a DM room with @NickServ:libera.chat
- Type
REGISTER
, and follow the instructions
