Where do you host Telegram bots with higher RAM requirements?
I’m building a Telegram bot using Python and aiogram (polling). The bot works with AI for processing photos and videos, so 512 MB of RAM is definitely not enough. Right now it’s aimed at a small number of users, but if it somehow gets popular, I’m totally fine with upgrading to a more powerful plan or even moving to a different host.I’m curious where you host your Telegram bots in practice. Are there any free or cheap options that actually work well for this kind of setup? And when it comes to paid hosting, which providers would you recommend for a bot like this?I’d really appreciate hearing about real-world experience — what you’re using now and why. Thanks!

TIL you can actually use Telegram Stars to get Premium for yourself
I always thought Telegram Stars were only for gifting premium to other people.
If you wanted premium for yourself card only. End of story.Turns out that’s not true.I had Stars just sitting there unused and found a way to activate premium for myself using them. No card, took like a 15sec, premium showed up instantly.Kind of wild this isn’t more obvious.
Not dropping links here to avoid spam, but if anyone’s curious, the name is PremiumForStarsBot.Posting in case this helps someone else who’s been hoarding stars for no reason.

Running Clawdbot locally is easy. Keeping it alive is not.
I’ve been experimenting with Clawdbot for a while now, and from an AI capability point of view, it’s honestly impressive. It can research, monitor things, respond on Telegram, and behave like an actual assistant instead of just replying with text.But there’s a problem that shows up very quickly.Local setups don’t last.As long as your laptop is on, the terminal is open, and nothing crashes, everything works fine. The moment your system sleeps, reboots, or you close a session by mistake, the assistant is gone. That’s okay for demos, but it completely breaks the idea of an always-on AI assistant.That’s when I realized the issue wasn’t Clawdbot itself.
It was where I was running it.What I ended up doingInstead of tweaking the local setup endlessly, I moved Clawdbot to a free AWS EC2 VPS. The goal wasn’t performance or scaling — it was reliability.Once it was on a VPS, a few things immediately became clearer:Memory matters more than CPU for this kind of agentNode.js versions can quietly break the setup if you’re not carefulTelegram integration has a common onboarding bug that needs fixingLeaving things unsecured is a bad idea when the bot runs 24×7After deployment, Clawdbot finally behaved like a real assistant.
It stayed online, kept responding, and didn’t need babysitting.How I set it upI used AWS free tier to spin up an EC2 instance and installed everything step by step instead of relying on shortcuts.At a high level, the process looked like this:· Launch a suitable EC2 instance with enough RAM
· Set up Node.js properly on the VPS
· Install Clawdbot and complete onboarding
· Fix the Telegram setup issue
· Lock things down so random access isn’t possibleThere were a couple of small hiccups, but nothing too complex. The biggest time sink was fixing things I didn’t even notice in the local setup because they never showed up until the bot ran unattended.Why this actually mattersIf you’re just testing Clawdbot for fun, running it locally is fine.But if you expect it to monitor things, send updates, or behave like a background assistant, local setups don’t scale mentally or technically.Running it on a VPS changes the mindset completely.
You stop thinking of it as a script and start treating it like infrastructure.Full walkthrough if you want to try itI didn’t find many clear, beginner-friendly walkthroughs for this, so I recorded a full tutorial showing the entire process — from AWS setup to a working Telegram-connected Clawdbot.Here’s the video if you want to check it out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6ekmb0kiE8Happy to answer questions if anyone here is running Clawdbot already or planning to move their AI agents off local machines.

How to enable Topics in DMs? Botfather doesn't have this option for my bots
Hey folks, trying to get streaming and topics working in my bot and I can't find a way to turn on the new (Dec 31) feature to enable topics in DMs + streaming. Anyone had any success so far? I've tried Mobile (updated to latest app store), Desktop, Mac Desktop and Web, and none of these have "enable topics" button anywhere I can figure out.I really wanna see streaming with Moltybot, any idea how to enable this on TG?

Multi-persona companion, separate 1:1 chats (trying to avoid "generic AI" vibes)
Hi everyone o/I really got tired of companion/chat bots wave, that feel like "assistant mode" or "customer support": long paragraphs, overly polished tone, and weird pacing. So I’m testing a more humanized approach: short messages, more natural timing, and each persona having a separate 1:1 chat (instead of switching personas in one lobby thread). In the GIF: you’ll see the persona list, then opening a private chat with Lia and a normal conversationThe goal is to feel like an actual companion, you choose the vibe (friend/crush/support), your preferences/orientation, and how spicy or chill the conversation is. It can do hotter/flirty chats, but only if you lead it there, nothing is forced or pushed on you.I’m building this with community feedback, so I’d love your feedback :)If anyone’s down to try it and roast it honestly: Nexa Companions

any way to use a ig/yt downloader bot on a channel?
I use @topsaverbot to download vids from yt and ig. I also have a tiny channel with just my friends and I wanted to add the bot to the channel so I don't have to send links to its dms and then forward them into the channel.but when I do it it just doesn't work. I made the bot an admin and gave it every permission but it won't work.it does see the links and does respond in the discussion gc but that's not what I want, I want it to just respond in the channel.is there a way to make it work? is there another bot to use for this task?

[Help] Telegram bot running on Termux
Hi everyone,I'm currently running a Python Telegram Bot (userbot using Telebot) on an old Xiaomi Mi11 via Termux. I know hosting on a mobile device isn't ideal, but I'm currently unable to invest in a VPS and Oracle Free Tier isn't an option for me.Bot Logic: The bot uses multiple threading.Thread workers to manage different "Flows" (forwarding, media backup, and scheduled posting).
Persistence: It saves queues to JSON files and uses time.sleep() for scheduling posts (intervals of 3200-3800s).
Polling: Using infinity_polling(timeout=90, long_polling_timeout=60).The Problem: Even with Termux Wake Lock acquired and Android Battery Optimization disabled (set to "No Restrictions"), the bot's scheduled queues eventually "freeze." It works perfectly for a while or immediately after a manual restart, but after a long period of inactivity the background threads seem to hang or get throttled by the OS.Since it's a Xiaomi device, I suspect MIUI's aggressive background management might be killing the child threads or the socket connection, even if the main Termux process stays alive.What I've tried:
termux-wake-lock
Disabling all battery optimizations for Termux and Termux:API.
Locking the app in the "Recent Apps" menu.Question: Is there a way to make Python threads more resilient on Android/Termux? Would switching from threading to multiprocessing help, or perhaps a different polling strategy? Any specific Xiaomi/MIUI settings I might have missed that bypass the "No Restrictions" battery toggle?I'd appreciate any insights from anyone who has managed to keep a multi-threaded Python script running 24/7 on Termux.

Our ideas keep getting forgotten about or lost on tg group chats so I built an agent.
My friends and I have had 100s of ideas in our group chat for startups, projects, things to do, etc. We share links, brainstorm ideas, discuss projects but we keep forgetting about them or if we remember them it takes 20 minutes to find them.So, I built an agent you can add to your group on TG (and other apps like Whatsapp). Its End-to-end encrypted so the servers can never read the messages. It silently organizes everything in the background like links, ideas, files, action items. Then when we need something, we just ask it: "What was that idea about edge computing?" and it finds it instantly, gives context of the conversation, etc.All the threads of conversations, ideas, action ideas, etc are all organized in a dashboard and they can also be exported to notion, google sheets, etc.It's just used by us right now but we want to know if its worth making public, some feedback on the concept would be great!

Can't message non-mutual contacts at the moment!
Hi all. I am having an issue with my Telegram account from many days. Whenever, I DM a non-mutual contact, I become able to do so . But, when I message some other guy, Telegram restricts me .My restrictions always get removed after 12 to 24 hours. And whenever I message the spam b*t , it always says that there are no restrictions on me and I'm as free as a bird.
