And yet they still can't figure out notifications. Lots of Telegram kool-aid drinkers here.

I actually like it for that, as I use it only TG for the groups and channels.
I don't want notifications for anything. If there's supposed to be notifications I would have turned them off.
OTOH Whatsapp you can never truly mute or turn off notifications.

+1 super frustrating, from time to time shows up in my notification bar too.

WhatsApp web really doesn't handled muted conversations

I'm always dreaming of a way to sort unmuted conversations from muted ones.

ETA. I understand it's more intended for spam but they can probably tweak it.

Being that Telegram let's you edit msgs., how about updating deals that are dead?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

That would need to be done manually, afaik.  Or a lot of extra programming.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

With all the talk about the best strategy for dd social media, here's a (fairly) reliable Telegram bot I've been using 

https://t.me/FeedogatorBot

I have the main channel muted, and this gives me notifications for posts containing my filters (such as 'smoking', 'hot', 'sizzling', 'shoes' ).

@Dan do I get an HT?
Negative hat tip. Costs a bloody fortune.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

They are really they only one doing this?
Wondering who Hamevaser uses, they have an Israeli number.
Actually it’s possible that they send it in batches, because it always comes a different time
