Monolithary: Clubs in Telegram

Telegram is full of chats, but finding your own circle among them is hard: some are stuffed with ads, others are silent. Monolithary offers a different shape, the club. You join a community around an interest, chat and meet people. 🌠

It is a Mini App launched from a bot. The project's slogan fits into three verbs: join clubs, communicate, meet people.

What a club is in Monolithary

A club is a group of people around a shared topic. It could be games, music, books, work or any other hobby. You join and immediately see what the community lives on.

A club beats an ordinary chat on structure. There is a clear purpose, fewer random people, and it is easier to find someone with similar tastes.

The /myclubs command

The bot menu has a command called My Clubs, invoked as /myclubs. Its job is simple: show the clubs you already belong to, so you return to the right one in a single step.

Once you have more than five clubs, the list becomes useful. Without it, it is easy to forget where you discussed what. 🙌

XP and ranks

A Mini App directory describes the project as a tool for boosting engagement with experience points and ranks. The idea is familiar from games: activity earns XP, and a rank shows your contribution to the community.

This mechanic motivates newcomers to write, but it has a flip side. If people chase points, conversation turns into farming.

• For a club owner. Ranks help highlight the most active members.
• For a member. A way to show you have been around and mean it.
• For everyone. Do not judge people only by their score.

Settling in during the first days

1. Join one or two clubs, not ten at once.
2. Read the club rules and the latest messages.
3. Introduce yourself in one paragraph: what you do, what you look for.
4. Ask a question on the club's topic, which is the best opener.

After a week it will be clear whether the community fits.

Staying safe while meeting people

Clubs gather different kinds of people. Do not send strangers personal documents, Telegram login codes, card details or your exact address. Never transfer money to someone you just met. 🛡

If a member pushes you, invites you to private chats about easy income, or asks you to follow a link, report them to an admin and block them.

For organizers

A club is easier to run when it has a theme, rules and rituals: welcoming newcomers, a weekly topic, games. Mini Apps with ranks like this one help sustain activity, but they do not replace a live moderator.

Plan in advance how to handle spam and conflict: who bans, who answers reports, which topics are off limits. Rules written on day one save you from arguments on day one hundred. 📋

A good club grows from meetups and shared tasks. Run book discussions, joint games, swaps of finds, and members will start inviting friends on their own.
