RSS is a general standard, for everyone to use, TG is not. Yet it’s likely that more people use TG than RSS. That’s what I meant by market.

Group chat is the most primitive of feed types and is incredibly outdated UX in 2025.

That’s like saying that wheel is outdated when we have jet engines. What would you propose instead?

Even RSS - technology from 1999 - has solved the issues telegram is still trying to solve now 26 years later.

Which specific issues and in which regard?

I would like TG to have a tree view representation of discussions, a bit like what web forums have available. Or a view separated into pages, like the same thing, with n posts on one page and page numbers and visible post ids.

I don’t like its actual client or its UX in the sense of appearance and widgets. What I meant is that I like what it presents to the user in the sense of entities.

In particular, again, that a community is essentially one thing, where posts with comments and a group chat are projections of the same data. You can see new posts and comments in the group chat, all in one place.
