Telegram's v8.2 update introduced join requests for additional invite links generated by admins. This feature would also be useful for public groups with usernames -- in these cases, the discussion would remain public-readable, but one must request to join in order to participate.
To work around this for now, a possible solution is to create a public channel in place of the group's username and place a join request-enabled invite link in that channel.
For example, if your group's username is @telegram
, you would first remove the username from that group (change it from a public group to a private group) and assign the username to a public channel instead, then generate an invite link for the group with join requests enabled. Lastly, paste it in the public channel as a post.
Thus, users could click through to the username, then the join link. However, the discussion would still remain hidden until an admin approves the request.
1. Remove the currently group name. Do you mean change it from public to private?
2. Assign the group username into your channel
3. Generate invite link with join request in your group
4. paste it in your channel. What do you mean by that?
4. Paste the invite link you generated into the channel, as a post.
But how is it workaround? Basically you just change your group from public to private.
Pre-approval by an admin would stop that
