Average Reactions

Average reactions counts the emoji reactions (likes, fire, hearts, etc.) a post receives on average. Telegram supports multiple reaction types, and this metric sums all of them. It directly measures audience sentiment and engagement willingness.

Why it matters

Reactions are the lowest-effort form of engagement — even passive readers sometimes react. A high reaction count relative to views suggests the audience is emotionally connected to the content. Reaction patterns also reveal sentiment: predominantly positive reactions differ from mixed or negative ones.

How to use it

Compare reaction counts to views for a quick sentiment check. Look at top reactions on a channel to understand the audience mood. Declining reactions over time may signal content fatigue before subscriber drops become visible.

Example

A meme channel averages 1,500 reactions per post on 25,000 views — a 6% reaction rate, very high. The dominant reactions are fire and laughing emojis, confirming the audience enjoys the content.
