    I know. But the idea is to somehow update the %LIST report on Stas' system for the user *after* the implementation of the %LIST feature. Stas said that pre-existing joins won't show up.

    I'm guessing you mean Stas' BBS that is tge host for Telegram? Because as
    far as I remember, all of the members of the Group are visible to group members.

    I guess I'm just not sure why it's actually needed.

    The member's list is a different beast. It's only a feature of the Telegram app. Stas' bot does not access that.

    Whereas, the %LIST / %QUERY is thought of as a way for a Telegram user to get a confirmation of the areas/groups that they are linked up to in Fidonet. There is the odd group that I have here (on Telegram) that are listed in the left panel and intermix with the specific Fidonet echonames. Unless I create a special "folder" just for the Fido echos, everything is in one long column - and it adjusts in priority based on the last activity in each one. A less active Fidonet echo could drop in priority in the list and go off-screen.

    %LIST and %HELP is a cool way to bring fidonet functionality to the Telegram app user.
