I’ve been hearing about this “bridging” thing. Is it possible to bridge into an IRC network that hasn’t been bridged yet? My options seem to be “OFTC, Snoonet, W3C” but I want to bridge to another network, and I don’t know if I even can or if I have to be a server admin or something.
Yes, it’s possible but you either have to host your own server, have to be on a server where the IRC bridge is installed and can be used by anyone or use a service like Beeper that takes care of it for you.
Yes, but you can use the federated app and bridge whatsapp into it. It’s a good solution :)
How does this work? And can you please expain it in terms an idiot, like myself, would understand?
I kinda do this, but only thanks to Beeper. Not sure I would be able to do it by myself lol.

Ah damn, thanks. I’ll eventually host my own server one day!
