Hi, Just wanted to add here that having telegram bot synced with your IRC channel really works for me. I think it's the easiest way for me(and probably for most newbies too) to always stay connected and keep track of the logs.
I cannot afford a server yet which means I'm disconnected most of the times and because we have members in the community from varying timezones, I feel this is a huge drawback. Of course, I don't expect everyone to have/afford a server and so far, I feel syncing telegram to an IRC channel is the easiest, if not the best(probably not the best, admittedly) way to stay connected. Kudos from my side. Infact, I just filed a ticket to register #kde-publictransport as an official KDE channel and a telegram relay service for the channel too. Cheers.
