@Arthfach I don't recommend it if you have a decent XMPP or Matrix setup. Both of those can bridge, and map more easily to "modern" chat platforms with inline images, video, the ability to rename channels, etc. That's the route I'd go if I had to start over. But if you really want to (or became invested in your IRC setup early on, like I did)… https://wiki.bitlbee.org/ See also the "other third party bridges" section at the end.

@digitalfox I do have my own XMPP platform that is quite stable; that may be REALLY useful for bridging! Thank you - never even considered that would be possible.

@digitalfox @Arthfach > ability to rename channels IRCv3 is (slowly) working on adding that: https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/channel-rename
