Linkback — Telegram link rescue and channel backup
A small-business tool that catches broken `t.me` links (during domain issues or sanctions events), redirects visitors to working mirrors, and auto-publishes your Telegram channel to Signal, WhatsApp, and Discord so you never lose reach.
Small DTC brands, course creators, and crypto/web3 communities running sales on Telegram
- Universal `linkback.me` redirect that auto-detects whether `t.me/yourname` is reachable, then sends the visitor to a working mirror
- One-click channel cloning to Signal, WhatsApp, and Discord with original timestamp preserved
- Live status dashboard for all your Telegram channels with downtime alerts
- Weekly "channel health" report comparing open rates across platforms so you know where your audience actually moved
Trending search around "sanktion" coincides with `t.me` domain issues and broken Telegram links — small businesses that built their storefront on Telegram are bleeding traffic and need a fix now.
Real t.me outage did occur when Montenegro's .me registry suspended the domain in July 2026, breaking hundreds of millions of links — but the 'sanktion' / sanctions narrative is poorly grounded; search results show EU sanctions against Google, not Telegram, making the why-now framing shaky.Telegram's t.me domain suspended, links no longer working ↗One Small Country Just Killed Hundreds of Millions of Telegram Links ↗
Multiple free open-source alternatives cover parts of the stack: AlexJarrah/Discord-Telegram-Mirror, VityaSchel's mtproto mirror bot, Mautrix bridges, and free Telegram link shorteners like urlyte — no single paid product bundles broken-link rescue + cross-platform backup.Discord-Telegram-Mirror - GitHub ↗telegram-channel-mirror-mtproto - GitHub ↗Free Telegram Link Shortener ↗
Existing mirror/cross-post tools are open-source (free GitHub repos) and URL shorteners are freemium; no evidence small brands will pay recurring fees for episodic outage insurance rather than DIY a webhook bot.Discord-Telegram-Mirror - GitHub ↗Short.io pricing ↗
The .me suspension was a single-day incident that was resolved; no evidence of chronic sanctions-driven Telegram blocking, so demand spikes only during rare events — not a durable SaaS wedge.Telegram's shortlink domain is back online after day-long suspension ↗
Trivially buildable: a 301 redirect layer plus monitoring of t.me HTTP status + a Telegram Bot API forwarder to Discord webhooks / WhatsApp Cloud API / Signal is well-documented territory.Mautrix bridges guide ↗
