15 posts held, back to 7 August 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
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) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’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.

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 “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — 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 — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
Measured directly from 3 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
"Just right click and open" stopped working two macOS versions ago see this in nearly every thread here where someone posts an app thats not in the store. it hasnt been true since sequoia. apple removed the control click open bypass in macOS 15. it does nothing now. the real path is System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom, the blocked app is sitting under Security with an Open Anyway button. clic…
Can we get "Finder Alternatives" added to the App Comparison spreadsheets? I've played around with Bloom and Forklift and have currently settled on Q-Space Pro. But I'd love to see a proper app comparison of everything that's out there. https://redd.it/1vjfq9b @macappsbackup
Calends: merge multiple Apple calendars into one you can share (even work calendars that block third-party apps) Disclosure: I'm the developer. Problem: My calendars are scattered across accounts: two Exchange work calendars, personal iCloud, family. There was no way to hand my wife (or colleagues) a single calendar showing my real availability. Worse, my employer only allows approved software to connect to Exchang…

Lifetime Quilt v1.6 - Turn E-Books, Slides & Screen Content into Searchable PDFs (Now with Annotations) Hi r/MacApps! I built Quilt to solve a frustration I ran into constantly which was trying to save and study content locked inside web viewers, e-readers, or presentation slides that do not let you download a PDF. A lot of digital learning material like online textbook viewers, web presentation slides, or digital …

2 small & powerful apps for keyboard enthusiasts Not much of a review, but a strong recommendation for 2 small gems I've recently discovered (and haven't seen them here). Both are: * free and opensource from an indie dev * written in go, ridiculously performant and tiny footprint * can replace some really pricy subscription apps with better performance, features & quality. * well behaved: installed with `brew`, con…
Showing the 12 most recent of 15 posts we hold for @macappsbackup. 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 ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 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.
Named by 7 registered channels — 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 — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — 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 — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 29 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
