+# Starting an IRC channel for your project
+
+For information about how to register an IRC channel on the Libera Chat network,
+consult the [Libera Chat documentation on channel registration][0].
+
+[0]: https://libera.chat/guides/creatingchannels
+
+Once you've set up your channel, you can add a link to it in your project README
+like so: `[Join us on IRC](irc://irc.libera.chat/#channelname)`. SourceHut
+detects these URLs and renders them as a link to chat.sr.ht, so users can easily
+join your channel and get talking.
