To connect to HybridIRC, you need an IRC client. Below are popular options:

Open your IRC client and look for an option to add or connect to a server.
Select "Add a Custom Server" or "New Connection" (wording may vary by client).
Enter the server details:
- Hostname: irc.hybridirc.com
- Port: 6697 (for secure/SSL) or 6667 (standard)
- If your client has an option for "Secure Connection" or "SSL," enable it.
Choose a nickname of your preference.
(Optional) If you have a registered nickname, enter your NickServ password in the appropriate field.
If you haven’t registered, you can do so after connecting by using:
```
/msg NickServ REGISTER password email
```
Click "Connect" or "OK" in your client.
Once connected, join a channel by typing:
```
/join #help
```
(Optional) To see available channels, use:
```
/list
```
