The official Telegram app with ads that appear at inconvenient locations bugs me. Any recomendations for a good FOSS Telegram client that does not show ads?
I’m using Mercurygram because it supports UnifiedPush

Extergaram is pretty good. I have been using it for about 4 months now. I feel like this is the best fork I’ve tried.
Previously I have tried Nekogram X and for a very short while Forkgram
Does Telegram actively enforce stuff against third party clients? Like if I use a third party client, is my account at risk of being banned?
I don’t think so. As long as you are not in some shady third party fork, you will be okay.
I have been using telegram forks for some time now, never encountered a ban or anything like that.
I was just piqued that if third party forks might offer extra features, some of which if they overlap with Telegram’s Premium offering, could be an issue. But I checked out couple of apps listed in this thread and they feel alright. I had confused a fork with a mod of the official app, the latter of which would certainly be a grey area.
Nah they they’re chill. Hell, I can’t even count how many alternative clients they own. IIRC they developed four clients for web alone.
Nekogram

I’ve been using Telegram-FOSS
Unsure if it does (not) have ads though,
if it has, then they’re likely blocked by AdawayI would suggest Mercurygram or telegram FOSS both removes binary bloat . The dev of mercurygram is super responsive and the updates are also faster on mercurygram .
Mercurygram still has ads unfortunately
What i have never ever seen em. I think it maybe the channels you are in ?
Nekogram X?
Seems some messages in channels are not supported.
Telegrapher looks cool
matrix with telegram bridge
One of the clients of all time
