The discord(s) and the forums share the same user base for the most part.

I don’t know java so I’m pointing you to the best place for support on the specific library you are using.

Might just be that no one is about over the weekend that use the library.

Basic oAuth authentication

Chat Quick start guide for a token:

> **[Authenticating with the Twitch IRC Server](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/irc/authenticate-bot/)**

> Authenticating with the Twitch IRC Server

The CLI can do the hard work for you for a quick test.
