20 posts held, back to 16 June 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 pageof 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. It is computed over the 4 of 8 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

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.
11 reactions across 5 posts, in 2 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 63.6% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| ❤ | 7 | 63.6% | |
| 🔥 | 4 | 36.4% |
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 — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — 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 — 4.34K, 1.2M — 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 6 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 11reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 16 June 2026 to 6 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.

Independent outlet Texty has helped pioneer data journalism in Ukraine, using evidence-based reporting to expose Russian disinformation and explain complex issues. Operating throughout the full-scale war, it has stayed focused on substance over hype. Hleb Liapeika spoke with editor-in-chief Roman Kulchynskyi.
andererseits’ story began in 2020, when ten journalists came together to publish their first few articles. Four years later, what started as a pilot project turned into one of Austria’s most innovative media start-ups. ◼ The media industry isn’t diverse enough, and too often, the same voices tell the same stories. “If journalism is supposed to reflect the world as it is, it can only do so if many different voices ar…
Mathilde Varda is an editor at Le Courrier des Balkans, a French-language outlet founded in 1998 and funded mostly by its readers. She joined us on the FixEd podcast to talk about covering a region that is often either ignored or oversimplified, what cross-border journalism actually looks like in practice, and the work that goes into keeping a small independent media alive.

Established in 2017, with the support of the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), the Investigative Reporting Laboratory (IRL) is a non-profit media organisation that exposes corruption and abuses of power in North Macedonia. ◼ "When the government changed in 2017 in Macedonia, many journalists were told that investigative reporting is no longer needed," says Saska Cvetkovska, co-founder and edi…

Vlast, a niche media outlet in exile offering exclusive reporting on the Russian authorities, is more than an international edition of its Russian-language counterpart. This approach, unconventional among exiled Russian media, appears to be paying off. Veronica Snoj spoke with journalist Farida Rustamova.
The Russian government is pushing people to download MAX, a new messaging app. How can this impact Russian independent media, which has largely taken refuge in Telegram, one of the few uncensored spaces still available to the Russian public? ◼ Over the summer of 2025, a new app began attracting attention: the MAX messenger, launched earlier this year by a subsidiary of VK, the popular Russian Facebook alternative. …
Reader memberships, advertising, grants, corporate philanthropy – @mistomediaonline is building toward four equal revenue streams to stay independent. Hleb Liapeika examines how one Ukrainian regional outlet is working toward self-sufficiency during the war.
How can a deaf journalism student work in the audio-heavy radio medium? Romain Chauvet spoke with Xavier Vinaixa, the technical director of a project that uses AI to enable just that.
Over 60% of Spain's journalism students are women. Only 5% of its major media outlets are led by one. Spain is a pioneer for women’s rights – but is it a model for women in journalism? Romain Chauvet reports for The Fix.
Across Europe, journalism is stepping out of the newsroom and onto the stage. What began as sporadic experiments has evolved into a field of its own, hailed for its potential to rebuild trust, reach new audiences, and diversify revenue. ◼ When journalism moves from the page to the stage, it reaches people far beyond its usual readership, giving smaller outlets a visibility they could never buy. "Obviously, it’s a di…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @thefixmedia. 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.
Citation-graph rank — 1,030,458 of 1,480,688entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — 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 channel’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 — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
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.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
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 8 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
