Are you looking for new Telegram groups to exchange ideas with other people about your favorite topics? We explain how best to proceed.
With up to 200,000 members, Telegram groups are an excellent place to build large communities and talk to many people about various topics.
In addition to simple text messages, they sometimes also allow video conferences and the exchange of files, media and voice messages between participants from all over the world.
But before you can take advantage of all these benefits, you must first search and find the Telegram groups that match your interests.
The most obvious place to find new Telegram groups is the search function integrated into the messenger. On Android you use this as follows:
On the iPhone, the steps are almost identical except for slightly different icons and labels. This means that you can reach your goal as an iOS user with these instructions.
The messenger’s global search has certain disadvantages. It provides comparatively few search results, so the entry you make must be very close to the actual group name in order to find it. You will also be completely denied access to private groups this way. Because you can only find them via an invitation link.
If you don’t know exactly which Telegram group you want to join, channels that provide an overview of available groups on various topics are suitable.
An example of this is “Groups & Channel Overview Telegram”, available at t.me/gruppen. The categories listed there redirect you to further channels, which in turn list several Telegram groups on a subject area. Ideal for browsing a bit and discovering interesting new communities.
The websites telegramchannels.me and tlgrm.eu also offer a similar service. Please note, however, that German-speaking groups and channels are sometimes only available to a limited extent.
