Graphical IRC client recommendations

I spend a sizable portion of the day on IRC and was wondering what your setups are.

I'd love sth with UX and UI similar to Cinny, so far only irccloud has brushed close enough for me.

Doesn't Cinny work with IRC too through the Matrix bridges?

It does, but the matrix bridge can be a bit unstable, and I wanted a native experience anyway :P

I used Irccloud for years, it was really nice. Does it still exist? There's an IRC chat too in sourcehut.

I'm using it atm, but it really feels like there should be sth more, well, FOSSy

Weechat, irssi or BitchX with tmux or screen? Not GUI, but that's the classic IRC experience.

I did give irssi a spin but it seems Cinny has spoiled me 😅

I know what you mean. I used irssi since the 90's, but nowadays it's Cinny/Element/Beeper for everything...
