irc - How can I ignore all JOINS, PARTS from all but a few channels?

Saturday 27 July 2019

On the freenode network I want to ignore ALL joins, parts EXCEPT in channels #foo and #bar.

What would be the syntax for this?

I tried:

/ignore -except #foo, #bar JOINS PARTS QUITS

I also tried to read the /help ignore but it's quite confusing. Also, would i just /save to keep it permanent?

Answer

Try this one:

/ignore -except #foo,#bar * JOINS PARTS QUITS

I don't know if it mathers but don't place a space after the , and the internet shows me a * is needed.
