ZenonEl<p>TelegramMediaRelayBot: automate content sharing - even if recipients aren't on the platform! </p><p>Problem :blobcatdead: :<br>You found cool content, but:<br>- friends are not registered on the platform (like TikTok or Reddit)<br>- are too lazy to click on links and look at <br>- don't want to bother with saving files or registering on a new platform </p><p>Having to download, forward the same thing manually to everyone and clean up your device's memory. Does this sound like a familiar hell? This is exactly the reason I created a bot.</p><p>What kind of beast is it? :blobcateyes:<br>TelegramMediaRelayBot is a bot that downloads content from any sources supported by yt-dlp and gallery-dl (TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, etc.) and automatically forwards it to the right people.</p><p>Its trick: It turns your “save → forward → delete” into a single action: throw a link → bot did it all. ✨</p><p>Why is this a breakthrough? :blobcatcomfaww:<br>For anyone and everyone:<br>It doesn't matter if you share with friends, colleagues or subscribers - the bot works even if they don't have accounts on the original platform. The bot works even without contacts (just downloads files to you in chat). </p><p>Self-host:<br>Full control over your data? Deploy your own version (documentation: <a href="https://zenonel.github.io/TelegramMediaRelayBot-Site/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">zenonel.github.io/TelegramMedi</span><span class="invisible">aRelayBot-Site/</span></a>). </p><p>No analogs:<br>I searched for similar solutions - and couldn't find anything. This is the first bot that combines downloading, forwarding and contact management in one place. </p><p>What does the bot know how to do? :blobcatcooljazz:<br>Now:<br>- Downloads content via yt-dlp and gallery-dl (galleries, playlists, videos) 🎬<br>- Contact book - add people and send them files in one click 👥<br>- Automation: Customize how the bot handles links (ex: “If I haven't changed my mind in 5 seconds - download and share content according to my rules") ⏱️<br>- Group work - supports Telegram group chats. Send a link - the bot will download content and send it to the group 💬<br>- Proxies and other smaller functions</p><p>Expect v3.0 to be released:<br>- Only a couple of features left to do for it</p><p>Future versions:<br>- Various improvements and innovations - advanced privacy settings, updated documentation and more 🔮</p><p>How it works. :blobcatboo:<br>1. you: Send the bot a link (+ description with a new line if necessary)<br>2. bot: Downloads the content → Sends it to your contacts based on your settings <br>3. you: Enjoy life and the new automation in it </p><p>Why you'll love it. ❤️<br>- Free and Open Source: The project is created for personal use, not for profit. No hidden code or subscriptions <br>- Flexible: Even without contacts - use it as your personal cloud in Telegram. Add hashtags to your files (<a href="https://lor.sh/tags/memes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memes</span></a>, <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/gifs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gifs</span></a>) to easily find them <br>- Simplicity: You don't need any supernatural effort to get started. Just take a little time to customize and you're good to go. Don't forget to invite the people you want to see in the bot! </p><p>What's up with the monetization? 💰<br>- Plans: In the future it will be possible to support the project through donations to the card or Boosty 💳<br>- Optional: With the plugin system it will be possible to buy ready-made modules (referrals, custom limits, etc) to monetize your copy of the bot. The basic version will remain free</p><p>👉 Try it now:<br>👨‍💻 Project page: <a href="https://github.com/ZenonEl/TelegramMediaRelayBot" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/ZenonEl/TelegramMed</span><span class="invisible">iaRelayBot</span></a> or <a href="https://github.com/ZenonEl/TelegramMediaRelayBot/tree/v0.3.0-dev" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/ZenonEl/TelegramMed</span><span class="invisible">iaRelayBot/tree/v0.3.0-dev</span></a><br>📚 Documentation: <a href="https://zenonel.github.io/TelegramMediaRelayBot-Site/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">zenonel.github.io/TelegramMedi</span><span class="invisible">aRelayBot-Site/</span></a> </p><p>✨ Feedback &amp; Suggestions<br>Your input is incredibly valuable to me!
