71 posts held, back to 5 August 2026 โ the reader has not yet reached the start of this channelโs public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 39 pages of Telegramโs 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) รท views โ note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegramโs 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.
| Window | Rolling 30 days ยท latest post in window 3 September 2026 |
|---|---|
| Posts held | 71 (5 August 2026 โ 3 September 2026) |
| Views total | 53,404 |
| Reactions total | 132 |
| Forwards / comments | not exposed by the public surface โ not measured, not estimated |
| Readings taken | 3 Sept 2026, 13:38 UTC |
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 โcorrectingโ the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form โ 8.12K, 3.7M โ 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 โ read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
146 reactions across 68 posts, in 3 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 91.1% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| โค | 133 | 91.1% | |
| ๐ | 11 | 7.53% | |
| ๐ฅ | 2 | 1.37% |
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 โ ๐ is thanks in one channel and mourning in another โ 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 โ 4.34K, 1.2M โ 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 68 of the 71 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegramโs own count on each post โ not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above โ those same posts carry 146 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by โa reaction total printed elsewhere on the pageโ.
Measured over the 71 most recent posts we hold, published 5 August 2026 to 3 September 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.

No matter if you have 1, 2, or 5 years of experience.

Showing the 12 most recent of 71 posts we hold for @softwaredevelopers007. 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 โ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it โ t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so โ1,200,000 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.
@softwaredevelopers007 edited 1 post after it first published โ the same permalink now carries different wording than the one this register originally read, caught because our own crawl held a copy of the earlier text.
An edit is not deception. Typo fixes, price updates and corrections look exactly like this too โ this register can tell you the wording changed and when, not why. How this is measured.
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 โ 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 โ the โNamed by N registered channelsโ figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly โ each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone elseโs query is independent of having been queried itself.
This channel appears in 9 seed channels' Telegram-generated recommendation lists in total. Each is Telegramโs list for THAT channel, not this one โ see how this is measured.
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 September 2026 โ this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
