About & FAQ

How the wall works, where its numbers come from, and what we will and will not do.

What is Group Wall?

A directory of English-language Telegram groups — places you can talk, not just read. It shares its ratings with TGDirectory and ranks them for communities.

How is the ranking decided?

By the ratings members give each group first, then by size. Pinned groups sit in their own labelled row above the ranking and never move it.

Where do the member counts come from?

From Telegram’s own public preview of each group, refreshed in the background. A count we could not read is left out rather than guessed.

How do I add my group?

Submit it on the listing form. A person reviews it, and once approved it appears here and on TGDirectory.

Can I pay to be ranked higher?

No. You can pay for a pin, which is shown separately and labelled as paid. The ranking itself cannot be bought.

What does “N online” mean?

It is Telegram’s own figure from the group’s public page — how many members were online when we last read it. We read every group regularly and show when; it is a snapshot, not a live feed.

What does “reported as a scam” mean?

How many different people reported the listing as a scam or an impersonation in the last 30 days. Reports a moderator dismissed are not counted. It is a count, not a verdict — each report is reviewed by a person.

Is a pin shown on TGDirectory too?

No. A pin is bought for Group Wall and shown only here. Featuring on TGDirectory is a separate purchase.

Is a group here safe to join?

Listing a group is not vouching for it. We remove scams we are told about, but read the rules, ignore unsolicited DMs and never send money to strangers.
