Features

Channels

channels

Optional

Public Telegram channels, in any form: durov, @durov, t.me/durov, https://t.me/s/durov. A link of a channel page keeps its keyword and its page (https://t.me/s/durov?q=privacy). One source per channel; posts are read from the newest to the oldest. Public groups give their details only (their messages are not published on the web). A private invite link (t.me/+AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOp, t.me/joinchat/AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOp, tg://join?invite=AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOp), the name of a bot or of a user account also gives one details row (what the page says), never posts. Max 1 000 channels.
