Methodology
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
A regex classifier reads each channel’s title, bio and recent posts, with manual overrides for edge cases. See the category glossary entry for the full taxonomy and decision rules.
Each channel is tagged with its single dominant category to keep the breakdown clean. Multi-topic channels keep whichever category their content leans toward most.
