  • yes, https://www.telegram.org/apps lists both, but if you open web.telegram.org, you will be automatically redirected to one of the two apps without being given the choice. The differences are not listed because the two apps are supposed to offer more or less the same features, and anyway nobody's keeping track of them. As far as I know, also, the two developers are given great freedom in deciding which secondary features to implement (these webapps are not yet mature to actually replace the desktop client) so this makes keeping track of the differences a little more difficult.

    You are basically not supposed to chose, choice is for those who are actively following the development of the two apps, apparently 🤷

    If you want to get an idea of which client to pick, have a look at their telegram channels, they publish nice changelogs:

    • https://t.me/WebK_en
    • https://t.me/webachannel

    (also notice at the differences in the username and title format lol)



  • I assume that by "channel" you mean "group"

    On any platform, you can use the lens icon to search for messages. Once you tap/click on it, an user silhouette 👤 icon will appear. It allows to filter messages from a specific user, yourself included

    If by "channel" you mean "channel", then there's no way to know which of the posts in the channel were sent by yourself, since they all appear as they were sent by the channel

    If you want to see a list of all messages you've sent across all chats, then there's no way to do that unless you script something using the users API

    Someone mentioned it on Reddit and on Riot -I don't remember in what subreddit or room- while talking about federated alternatives to Reddit. Came here, saw the Github, lurked a bit. Looks an interesting project and I can't wait for federation to come!
