What server are you using? The official channel is #d on Freenode 
and is very active.

I just tried now: https://webchat.freenode.net/
Channel: #d

And there are a lot of guys there, but not sure if they are all 
alive! :)

As IRC channels go, #d is moderately active. If I ask for help, I usually 
get a response within a couple minutes, and if I'm just idling, I will 
see probably ten messages per hour on average.

#ubuntu, for comparison, is so outrageously active that you can log in 
and see a new message every few seconds. If that's your reference point, 
you'll consider #d pretty much dead in comparison.

Wow. That seems like it would be too active to even be useful.

From the time I was around being a community member, I found a lot of the

general flow of discussion to be a question followed by a link to a wiki,
askubuntu, the forum, a manpage.  If you had a problem, you'd never get a
concrete answer.  Anything too technical was deemed not fit for discussion
and you were directed towards the forums or some other channel.
