I’m using it to read Telegram channels without ads and in the same place as everything else (Miniflux), hosting it on my home server. Maybe you’ll find it useful too.

As a bonus, here’s a Solarized Light theme for Miniflux RSS reader I vibed with AI : https://gist.github.com/nDmitry/2c3ff859d50d7b15e2369a51e781...

what's the best way to scale scraping-heavy services like this without getting blocked?

It depends on how their owners protect them. Switching IPs via proxies and changing user agents are well-known and relatively simple methods—essentially pretending to be different clients. However, nowadays, services like Cloudflare often render these techniques obsolete, forcing you to mimic human behavior instead. I don’t have expertise in that area.

You can read any public Telegram feed in your web browser at the URL: t.me/s/CHANNEL_NAME. So far it doesn't look like a problem with scrappe telegram feeds now. Unlike Reddit / X.
