Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between โ€” snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean โ€œno change observedโ€, never โ€œinterpolatedโ€.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.

ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) รท viewsโ€” note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegramโ€™s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 12 of 142 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Readings taken15 Aug 2026, 03:19 UTC

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than โ€œcorrectingโ€ the number into something nobody can reproduce.

Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form โ€” 8.12K, 3.7M โ€” so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.

Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded โ€” read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

What this channel posts

Links
โ‰ˆ90,300

Lifetime counters from Telegramโ€™s own channel header, read 15 August 2026 โ€” not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. A count marked โ‰ˆ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it โ€” t.me prints these counters in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so โ‰ˆ142,000 means somewhere between 141,500 and 142,499.

Reaction mix

14 reactions across 12 posts, in 3 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 71.4% of them.

Every reaction kind recorded on the sample, most used first
ReactionCountShareShare, drawn
โค1071.4%
๐Ÿ‘321.4%
๐Ÿ”ฅ17.14%

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities โ€” ๐Ÿ™ is thanks in one channel and mourning in another โ€” so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.

Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one โ€” 4.34K, 1.2M โ€” so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.

Coverage. Reactions were read on 12 of the 142 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegramโ€™s own count on each post โ€” not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above โ€” those same posts carry 14reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by โ€œa reaction total printed elsewhere on the pageโ€.

Measured over the 142 most recent posts we hold, published 4 August 2026 to 14 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Showing the 12 most recent of 142 posts we hold for @cibsecurity. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked โ‰ˆ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it โ€” t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so โ‰ˆ1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Citation-graph rank

Citation-graph rank โ€” 1,000,567 of 1,478,351entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below โ€” republished posts weigh more than named mentions โ€” and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channelโ€™s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page โ€” a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.

Forward network

Republished by

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.

Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.

Mentions

Named by 3 registered channels โ€” every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched โ€” that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting todayโ€™s namer to yesterdayโ€™s owner would misattribute it.

A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason โ€” naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides โ€” the โ€œNamed by N registered channelsโ€ figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.

Appears in Telegramโ€™s recommendations for other channels

The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly โ€” each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone elseโ€™s query is independent of having been queried itself.
