Thanks for sharing. Did not know Telegram had a blogging platform. Assuming it's this https://telegra.ph. Is there an integration inside telegram for publishing?


I don't think that's it?

I think they're just using a channel, as described. You got to squint a bit until you recognize it as a blogging platform, but all the functionality is technically there.


Basically it's just a Telegram channel where only you can post content on.

I followed a friend's semester abroad in Japan through one and it was pretty good. A bunch of OnlyFans creators have set up a Telegram channel to notify about new content etc.


I sometimes have used telegra.ph for longish posts, but this is a microblog, so short notes with no title and just one, two or three small paragraphs of text. I sometimes share Evernote notes, exactly in the same way one would use telegra.ph.



Actually, while that is indeed a service of Telegram last I checked, I don't believe that's what asim was talking about. Pretty sure they're using a Telegram channel in lieu of a blogging platform.


To be honest, it would be trivial to wire up a Telegram Bot to read posts that you send it, and to re-post them on a web based blog platform.
