The freenode irc is a good place to start : chat.freenode.net they have probably the largest set of general and some specific channels for discussions. Good mods, rules etc.
But over the years of being on IRC and growing list of communities and friends I have a few that I join for particular areas of interest but as for an all in one 'directory' I'm not too sure if one exists.

How do you find them?
The Libera irc network has a lot of active rooms with different topics.
Is there a way to discover new Libera chat channels beyond randomly joining different places?
On any IRC server you can list the channels created..
`/list` This will list all, but you can filter for min people for example in the channels
`/list -min 10`
