Engagement rates
Telegram channel engagement rates — views per subscriber
Engagement-rate leaders among the channels we track: the share of subscribers who actually read each post (average views ÷ members). A truer signal of reach than raw audience size.

Top channels by engagement rate
Channels where the largest share of subscribers reads each post. Engagement rate ≈ average views ÷ members, with a 1k-member floor to keep the noise out.
Methodology
How channel rankings are computed
Rankings on this page come from the same underlying snapshot pipeline that powers tgadsspy. Each indexed channel gets a daily snapshot of members, recent post-view distribution and language tag. Below is what each metric is — and what it isn't.
Members count
Direct from Telegram's public channel-info endpoint. We refresh top-1000 channels nightly and the long tail weekly. Numbers shown are observation-as-of timestamps, not real-time — Telegram itself doesn't publish a live counter.
Average views
Median of the last 20 posts. Median is more honest than mean — single viral posts skew mean. Channels with fewer than 20 posts use whatever they have.
Language tag
Detected from the title + last 10 posts via langdetect. ~92% accuracy on top-1000 channels by manual spot-check. Channels with multi-language audiences (e.g. RU/EN mixing) keep the dominant tag.
Category
Regex classifier on title + bio + recent post text, with manual override for edge cases. See /info/category glossary entry for the full taxonomy and decision rules.

Frequently asked questions
About Telegram channel stats
How is engagement rate computed here?
ER ≈ average views on recent posts ÷ subscriber count. We require at least 1,000 members so tiny channels with freak ratios don’t dominate, and we use median views to resist single viral spikes. Treat it as a public-surface estimate, not Telegram’s native per-post ER.
What’s a healthy ER on Telegram?
Healthy public channels typically run 5–15% views-per-subscriber. Above 20% usually means a very small or freshly viral channel; well below 5% can signal an inactive or inflated audience. Always compare within the same niche and size bracket.
Why does ER look low next to other social platforms?
Telegram counts a view as a passive feed impression, not a click or reaction, so the percentages aren’t comparable to Instagram/TikTok engagement. Use them only to compare Telegram channels against each other.
