QueryHome: A Knowledge Feed for Your Group

In a study group or a developer community, questions keep coming up that someone has already answered. QueryHome collects such questions and answers in a knowledge social network, and the bot brings fresh entries straight into your chat. 📖

What the service is

QueryHome calls itself a knowledge social network. People ask technical questions, and others answer, work through doubts and write articles. The service is free and available in a browser and as an Android app.

The format resembles question and answer sites, but with more emphasis on community and articles. The Telegram bot exists so the feed does not live apart from your group. 🧠

What the bot does

Add it to a group, and it starts posting the latest QueryHome entries. Members do not have to open the site to see what is new.

The bot has two commands:

• /about_us explains what QueryHome is.
• /follow helps you connect with the service and set up the subscription.

Set up in three steps

1. Open the bot and read the guide with /about_us.
2. Add it to your group.
3. Send /follow to link the group to the feed.

If the bot stays silent, check whether the group allows messages from bots and whether it has the right to post. 🔌

Who benefits

• Study chats. Students see new questions on the subject and discuss them.
• Programmer communities. Useful write-ups arrive without manual copying.
• Interest clubs. The feed gives a reason to talk on quiet days.

If your chat dislikes automated messages, think twice: the feed can annoy people. 💡

Keeping the group from becoming a dump

Automatic posts easily drown out live conversation. A few habits keep the balance:

• Dedicate a separate topic or chat to the feed.
• Warn members that the bot will post.
• If the flow is too dense, switch the bot off for a while.
• Once a month, ask members whether the feed is useful.

Things to remember

The bot is aimed at one source, not at group analytics or moderation. It will not replace an admin bot or your own experience in discussions.

The community on QueryHome decides what the posts say, not you. Before trusting advice from the feed, check it in documentation or with someone who knows. That goes for any public knowledge base. ⚠️

If you run the group for students or colleagues, ask them how they prefer to get materials: a feed in the chat or a weekly digest.
