Guys, I'm trying to figure out how to finally get Balkan Spectator in the "similar channels" tab.
For now, the channel is somehow unknown to Telegram's algorithm, and I don't know what can I do to fix this.
Balkan Spectator is close to 5k subscribers. The topic we cover is clear and there are many other geopolitics channels covering many other regions and the whole world. Our audience seems also similar enough to that of many of our partner channels which already have the "similar channels" tab.
I have done a lot of research, talked to some colleagues, and still there's no clear path yet for us. There are a lot of theories, but nothing seems to be the actual way to get it.
Any comment, idea, or answer you've got in this regard will be warmly welcomed. Do not hesitate to write to the channel's direct messages.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

โก๏ธ While the homecomings of Loreen, Nemo, and Joost Klein saw massive, passionate public turnouts, Austria's response to their own past victory by Conchita Wurst was comparatively indifferent.
โก๏ธ Commentators note that triumphs in the song contest carry significantly more cultural weight and national pride in smaller Eastern European countries than in their Western counterparts.
