View public Telegram channels without a Telegram account

You can actually view any public Telegram channel without requiring a Telegram account.

Typically, public channels on Telegram follow this pattern t.me/<channel-name>. For example, t.me/jesstern will direct you to my public channel. However, you need to have a Telegram account to view the channel.

Public channels on Telegram can also be viewed without a Telegram account if you include a /s/ before the channel name. The pattern is as follows t.me/s/<channel-name>. For example, t.me/s/jesstern can be viewed directly in your web browser.

Now you can enjoy Daily Dad Jokes and BBC Earth Daily even if you don’t have Telegram.
