Channels
Join one of our IRC channels on irc.freenode.net (click the “webchat” link if you don’t have an IRC client installed or have never heard of IRC before).
English
- #minetest (webchat) (logs): main channel
- #minetest-dev (webchat) (logs): development channel, only serious stuff; Note: webchat is muted due to too much spam/flood
- #minetest-mods (webchat) (logs): mod development channel, mostly quiet
Other languages
Channels about Minetest in other languages (note that most people hang out on #minetest, which is the main channel):
- #minetest-de (webchat) German
- ##minetest-es (webchat) Spanish
Rules
Some people don't know how to behave in IRC, so here are some simple rules:
- Don’t ask if you can ask questions, just ask
- Be patient when you ask something, people might not be around
- Don’t spam
- Don’t flood the channel with messages or bot commands
- use a Pastebin (e.g. pastie Pastebin.com or Pastebin.ca) if you want to post more than 4 lines (e.g. error messages or code)
- Annoying, racism or any form of degrogatory term against any user or channel operator will probably get you quieted or even banned.
- If you’re going to ask someone something, ‘please’ goes a very long way.
- The channels are not playgrounds and are frequently used for talks which are not off-topic.
- Off-topic is allowed, but excessive use of it is disallowed.
- Link shorteners are discouraged for URLs that are not very long.
