A few years ago these groups were popping up everywhere, but lately many of them seem inactive, bot-filled, or abandoned shortly after launch. I’m curious how others currently find active and genuine memecoin groups — whether through manual searching, recommendations, or tools/aggregators.
I came across a curated overview of memecoin Telegram groups here:
https://icospeaks.com/news/memecoin-telegram-groups/Not here to spam — just genuinely interested in how people are separating real communities from dead or spammy ones in 2026.
What’s your experience? Do you think these groups are still worth following, and how do you evaluate them?
Why do you consider a telegram project as unique and a determinant to know if a project is still alive or dead.
There are other platforms crypto projects may not do without and I don't think that Telegram is among them and before now, telegram was not created for cryptocurrency projects alone but a general community where people can talk and share ideas in a open group.
Most successful crypto projects do not even have a a telegram space to accommodate users and participants that which to join the group.
What I mean is that during previous cycles almost every memecoin project was aggressively shilled across Telegram groups and Twitter (X). Telegram groups were full of nonstop promotion, bots, raids, paid posts, and hype-driven discussions.
But in 2026 the situation feels very different — there is noticeable silence. Much less visible shilling, fewer active Telegram raids, and far less organic hype around new memecoins. This raises an interesting question: where are memecoins now, and why has the noise disappeared?
In my view, memecoins haven’t disappeared — they’ve migrated. Promotion has shifted:
from large public Telegram groups to private alpha groups and closed communities
from mass shilling to short-lived launches on-chain, especially on Solana and Base
from long hype cycles to fast pumps driven by insiders, bots, and influencers, often lasting hours, not weeks
Twitter (X) is still used, but mostly by a small circle of accounts, not broad community discussion. Telegram is now more about coordination, not open promotion.
So the lack of noise doesn’t mean memecoins are dead — it likely means the meta has changed. Less public hype, more speed, more automation, and more insider-driven launches.
That’s why it feels quiet, even though activity still exists — just in different places.
