Movement

Risers and fallers

Which entries on the register gained and lost the most subscribers — measured by reading the same public page twice, not by asking anyone.

135,911 entries changed size between two readings of their own profile page, and 483 were read twice and did not move. The median entry below was watched across 30 hours, and every row states its own interval.

These boards compare readings from the last 48 hours only. The register’s own history begins on 5 August 2026. Nothing here is a 30-day trend, a growth rate or a projection, and no figure on this page has been divided by time to make one — an eleven-hour observation extrapolated to a day is a number nobody measured. What these boards show is exactly what they say: the difference between two readings, and how far apart those readings were.

Biggest gains

The largest measured increase in subscribers, whole register, any size. This board has no size floor and needs none — one subscriber is one subscriber whatever the size of the channel that gained them — so it is dominated by large entries, which is a true fact about where subscribers move rather than a selection this page made. For movement among smaller channels, the same board segmented by size band is below.

Biggest losses

The largest measured decrease. A falling subscriber count is not evidence of anything on its own: Telegram removes deleted and deactivated accounts in batches, and a large channel shedding several thousand of them in a day is routine housekeeping rather than an audience leaving. This board reports the measurement and draws no conclusion from it.

Fastest growth, proportionally

The same movements as a share of the channel’s own size, over the 134,630 entries where both readings are at or above 1,000 subscribers. The floor is the whole point of this board: without it, a channel that went from three subscribers to six would rank first at +100%.

Steepest decline, proportionally

The same population and the same floor, in the other direction. A steep proportional fall on a channel of a few thousand is a smaller event than a shallow one on a channel of a million, which is why the absolute figure is printed beside every percentage here rather than left for the reader to work out.

What was measured, and what was held back

Why the percentage boards have a floor. A channel going from 3 subscribers to 6 has grown 100%, and a board that ranked on that would be a list of the smallest entries in the register, refreshed by whoever gained a friend. Both readings must be at or above 1,000 for an entry to carry a percentage here — the same floor the published engagement baselines use for eligibility, so the two are one number rather than two house rules. Absolute change has no floor: it needs none, because one subscriber is one subscriber whatever the size of the channel it joined.

One surface, never two. Every reading behind these boards was taken from t.me/name, the public profile page, where the subscriber counter is printed in full. The register also reads counts from the t.me/s/name preview, from MTProto and from the Bot API, and those readings are recorded as separate lineages that never confirm one another — for the reason set out in the methodology. Subtraction is a stronger operation than confirmation, so it inherits the rule: a change is only computed between two readings of the same page. That is why far fewer entries appear here than hold two readings overall.

Movement inside one size band

Why the bands exist

A single leaderboard over the whole register is a leaderboard of the largest channels, every time: a million-subscriber channel moving 0.5% outranks a ten-thousand-subscriber channel doubling, on the absolute board by construction. The band pages above run the same four boards inside one half-decade of size, so the biggest mover among channels of ten thousand is findable without competing against channels of ten million. The bands are the same ones the rest of the register uses. The figure beside each band is how many entries in it were measured to move at all — not how many are in the band, which the browse index publishes, and not how many appear on a board, which is capped at 25 per board.

Each board shows at most 25 rows, ordered by the change and then by size. There is no paging: a leaderboard is a top of something, and a page 40 of it would be a list of entries that moved by one subscriber.
