Reddit - Near You
If you're a Reddit user you may have noticed the "Top Growing Communities" card which will show top growing communities for topics you might be interested in.
One of those topics is location with a list of top growing "Near You" communities.
This is a neat feature and if you manage a subreddit that is at all connected with a particular location you'll want to make sure you have updated your your community settings to indicate the location your subreddit is related to.
It's under:
Mod tools > Community Settings > Get discovered by local redditors

I've made a video about how Telegram comments are REPLIES in a CONNECTED GROUP.
Watch here: https://youtu.be/AzT9o0KstAo
These are I think the most illuminating screenshots from the video. From left to right: the channel post, eight comments, eight replies in the connected group.
This might be the easiest way to see and understand that there are in fact no such thing as channel comments. Channel comments are a threaded discussion view of REPLIES in the connected group.
Once understood it's a pretty simple comment solution that has some interesting benifits.

Details of the YouTube Shorts Fund
A new video details how creators on YouTube could be offered payments of between $100 to $10000 each month, for creating popular and unique #Shorts
The most interesting thing here I think is that it's open to all creators, including those outside the YouTube partner program.

What is Telegram? - #Telegram #Discussion Lots of people have a view about what Telegram is which maybe correct or incorrect, but views about what Telegram is are more often than not too narrow.
Mostly people view Telegram as a messaging or chat App, which it of course it is; but it's more than that too. With this discussion I hope to broaden your viewpoint by of Telegram offering some examples and answering your questions.
How Telegram is like WhatsApp?
The mobile App looks simillar to WhatsApp in many ways, in the same way that many messaging Apps will have a similarlly looking user interface. Things that people do on WhatsApp can be done with Telegram.
How Telegram is NOT like WhatsApp - Brand channels
There are lots of things that people can do with Telegram can do which cannot be done with WhatsApp.
For example this message or "post" is the two hundered and seventy second post made to a "Brand Channel" named Social Media Talk, which has the "username" @SocialKnowhow
A brand channel can be viewed like a Facebook page, or a Twitter channel.
A Telegram channel can be viewed with all the channel posts within the Telegram App. But people who don't use Telegram can read public channel posts outside of Telegram. Each post has a post page with a unique URL: channel-name/post-ID
There are also private channels which cannot be viewed outside of being signed into Telegram.
Brand channels are created by an owning account but can be managed by multiple accounts with granular permissions if the channel owner sets that up.
How Telegram is NOT like WhatsApp - Telegram Groups
WhatsApp has a groups feature. A group is a community space where the group members (by default) have write access to; by write access I mean group members can posts "messages" to the group.
Telegram has a groups feature, but on Telegram groups can have many more members and be public or private. So Telegram group featuers make them are more like Facebook groups. Public groups have a public URL / Username like a public channel URL. Groups can be managed by up to fifty admins or moderators.
How Telegram is NOT like WhatsApp - Privacy
WhatsApp uses a phone number to register in a similar way to Telegram. But Telegram does NOT show your phone number to others by default. It does show your phone number to "contacts" by default. Your contacts are generally people who you have shared your contact details with.
With Telegram you can restrict who can see your phone mumber down to no-one.
With Telegram you can choose to add a public username. My public username is @RobertWallis - A public username gives you a public profile and URL. WhatsApp doesn't have public content or public profiles.
If you do not have a public profile on Telegram you can still interact with public content, where your username is not liked to a profile.
Lots more ...
There are lots of other aspects and technical differences, but I hope I've done enough for you to consider taking a first or second look at what Telegram is.
If you are a Telegram user you can comment on this post. I would love to hear your feedback or questions.
Thanks 🙏
