In general, `CAP REQ` should come first and they can be combined. `USER` is not required. You should wait for at least the `001` command before sending `JOIN` commands

```auto
< CAP REQ :twitch.tv/membership twitch.tv/commands
> :tmi.twitch.tv CAP * ACK :twitch.tv/membership twitch.tv/commands
< PASS oauth:token_here
< NICK username_here
> :tmi.twitch.tv 001 username_here :Welcome, GLHF!
  :tmi.twitch.tv 002 username_here :Your host is tmi.twitch.tv
  :tmi.twitch.tv 003 username_here :This server is rather new
  :tmi.twitch.tv 004 username_here :-
  :tmi.twitch.tv 375 username_here :-
  :tmi.twitch.tv 372 username_here :You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike.
  :tmi.twitch.tv 376 username_here :>
> :tmi.twitch.tv GLOBALUSERSTATE
< JOIN #channel_name

```

Are you PING/PONG-ing and in the event Twitch is not sending a PING, in a nice time, are you proactively sending a PING and listening for the PONG?
