A big part of using a tilde is using IRC. 

ttylde has `weechat` installed. A default `weechat` configuration is provided in your home directory, available at `~/.weechat`.

To launch `weechat`, simply type:

```bash
weechat
```

To launch `weechat` with a non-standard config directory, use the `--dir` argument:

```bash
weechat --dir /path/to/your/config/dir
```

The provided configuration is preconfigured to connect to `#ttylde` and `#meta` on `tilde.chat`.

## Other clients

Other clients include `irssi` and the [kiwi webchat](https://kiwi.tilde.chat). `irssi` is not installed, but if you need it, simply ping ~karx on IRC and he'll install it.

When using the webchat, make sure to put `#ttylde` as the channel name.
