hidden on the client-side
Clients often have filtering options enabled by default. For example in mIRC if you right click on the channel list and select List options:
 * Ensure that it does not filter on a minimum amount of people. If you filter at minimum 2, then you won't see channels with only 1 user in it.
 * mIRC has a checkbox option called Hide non-text channels or Hide non-alphanumeric channels which want to uncheck (deselect). If the option is enabled then it will hide certain channels.
