How do get more people to use I2P, and get people inside I2P to use the URC network instead of IRC servers?
the world may never know
I think it's kind of important that they do though.
I2P is an anonymous, uncensorable, encrypted network with no central points. This is a social good for the world in many ways that I probably don't need to list for you if you're reading this, because I'm probably preaching to the quire.
Sadly, central servers, even ones that exist inside of a decentralized network, CAN be censored, attacked or brought down in some way. IRC is a great way to communicate, BUT it is centralized, and therefore susceptible to attack. URC is a fix for that. Ideally, everyone in the world who uses IRC *should* migrate to URC. Especially those who inside of I2P.
I'm posting from inside I2P now? How do I get on URC? The link on the front page is a regular IRC channel.

Seriously, how do I use URC? Where do I get it? How do I run it?
>falling for le ebin URC maymay
you have 2 choices, urcd or urc.py
So, what's a "hub?" Is that just a server?
Let's say I have this running, how do I connect something like weechat into it? How do I find somebodys "hub?" Is it not decentralized?
hubs are more like a peer than a server
allyour4nert7pkh.onion port 6789 is a urc hub address
urc.py pops up a irc server at 6667 by default, rather it should
So it's not really distributed then, right? Because you have to know of or find "hubs" instead of "servers" to chat inside of. Am I understanding this right?
You need to make a nice infographic detailing the steps and suggesting "servers" that people should connect to. For example, I have no idea what kind of discussion I could find on URC, or how to connect to it.

It is distributed in that you are all running irc servers that are going to peer together instead of connecting to a single or network of servers.
hub2hub:
./scripts/add-hublisten local.urc.example.tld 6789 /service/urcd-hub0/socket/
### add peers. i recommend between 2 and 4 at the most
./scripts/add-hubconnect remote.urc.example.tld 6789 /service/urcd-hub0/socket/
If you would read the page you would see how to connect it.
