How do I follow Telegram channels?

Go to Add feed > Telegram channel, type a keyword or the channel's name, or paste its t.me address, and click Follow. You don't need a Telegram account. Only public channels can be followed, and Telegram feeds are a Pro feature.

Follow a channel

  1. Click Add feed in the tab bar and choose Telegram channel.
  2. Type a keyword or the channel's name, or paste its address, such as https://t.me/msfs2020, and press Enter.
  3. Click Follow next to the channel.
  4. To file the new feed in a folder, right-click it in the sidebar and choose Add to folder.
Telegram channel search results in Inoreader with channel previews and Follow buttons.
A keyword lists matching channels with their latest posts. A pasted address shows that channel alone.

A keyword returns a list of channels, and a channel's full name finds that channel. A pasted address shows the channel with its three latest posts. Inoreader accepts https://t.me/name, https://t.me/s/name and https://telegram.me/name, and a Telegram address pasted under Website switches to the Telegram channel section by itself.

Private channels, groups and invite links can't be followed. When a search finds nothing, check the spelling, search by the channel's full name, or paste its address.

The check schedule for channels

A channel with fewer than 30 posts in the last 30 days is checked every 3 hours, whatever your plan. Busier channels follow the normal schedule, at least hourly with a Pro follower. To get a quiet channel every 10 minutes, boost it, as What are boosted feeds? explains.

Telegram feeds sit in the sidebar like any feed and belong to your account alone. They never appear in Inoreader's public search. Manage them in Preferences > Content > Feeds with the type filter Telegram feeds.

Plans and limits

Telegram feeds are Pro: 30 per account, with a Team that has a shared pool sharing 100 or 150 across the team and custom plans able to add more. Free accounts see the search results but can't follow a channel. When Pro ends, the feeds are kept but stop updating until Pro returns.
