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?
gunpachi@lemmings.world · 2 pts · 2y
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.

I've been using Telegram-FOSS
Unsure if it does (not) have ads though,
if it has, then they're likely blocked by Adaway

I didn’t notice any apps yet and I definitely don’t use any kind of ad blocking.

Nekogram X?

Seems some messages in channels are not supported.

Telegrapher looks cool

I 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 .
schizoidman@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y
Mercurygram still has ads unfortunately
