Searching channels with Telegram Desktop is not the same like searching with Telegram Beta or Bettergram or other. Use multiple applications!

A common problem on Telegram, available especially on Telegram, is that users do not consult old posts at all. They only look messages showed by Telegram, without even scrolling the feed, no matter which topic.

This is absolute the worst way to figure out if a channel is right for you or not. Telegram also offers so many functions to be able to consult old messages.

If you want to get more and better results, you need to apply correct search strategies

Ehm, nope .... We still haven't answered all bullshits said by Ben. Let we check another bullshit he wrote about Telegram. Obviously even for this feature there is already an option ...

If you don't use the right search methods, you will never find channels on Telegram

A true story happened few months ago. Telegram directories admins are racists. Same identical channels, just with different languages, get rejected and banned with no sense from their directories. Same happens for other channels, made always by the same creator, just about different topics. Few get randomly approved, other get randomly banned. So don't trust Telegram directories and don't think this is an alternative way to find channels. Few directories don't approve any type of channels at all, just those who pay for that.

TikTok and Telegram are pretty the same: 1) you can have TikTok on Telegram, by having a general better experience on Telegram (obviously you cannot check related song videos directly on Telegram ...) 2) both have a bad search feature, even if still less shitty than Instagram. Currently TikTok implemented it on TikTok Desktop, but the feature still remains huge limited 3) both can be used directly on the browser. Most other smartphones social network don't directly offer that. Snapchat added such support few days ago. 4) due to issue 2 and issues related to a bad TikTok AI, that works (if this works...) generally only on likes, you can have a really bad TikTok experience, complaining that on TikTok there are just shit videos (which is right, especially now after they increased the video duration to up to 10 min). Without a proper search you will not find good contents (and obviously we don't mean most liked videos ...) 5) both socials have a low account ban, even if TikTok has more than Telegram and in the last months they even started to increase that, especially after the war 6) both socials, near YouTube, are the future. Facebook, Twitter and Reddit still remain the king for searching infos/medias.

Telegram sometimes is just fucking idiot. If you cannot find a channel, even after writing "@username", this doesn't mean the channel doesn't exist. You need to write a normal message with "@username" and click on such link.

Everyone has the right do do what he wants, so it's up to you if you prefer to be like the mass of people or to be a smart person.

The main problem is not Telegram, but simply that 99% of all users use Telegram just for "wrong (illegal) things", contributing to the bad reputation Telegram has worldwide. Just a small amount is able to use it properly.
It's time to open your mind and to stop the "WhatsApp style" usage too.

Using synonyms is one of the most important aspect when you search on Telegram (or better everywhere!)
