  • change to supergroup

    From August Abolins@2:460/58 to Stas Mishchenkov on Mon Nov 16 20:45:11 2020

    "
    Apparently this is due to the fact that with a certain number of subscribers, the group becomes a supergroup and its identifier changes"

    So it changes when users reaches 5?

    Are all the fido-tgm echos superg now? I think they all have atleast 5 including the bot.

    Groups can have up to 200 members. Has to be something else.

    They can have more than that.

    I guess they could have upped the number. Last I checked groups were up to 200 and private only, supergroups went higher and could be public or private.

    You can experiment by creating your own groups and observe the options. When I first created one I got a message saying that group could support up to 200,000 members. Other FAQs indicated that new groups were automatically supergroups. So it surprised me when Stas said that he had update the group ID in the bot because it was now a supergroup when I thought it was automaticall superg in the first place. We shall see. I thought the invite link triggered something. We need more people trying the links to see if this remains stable.
