Are Telegram groups still better than Discord communities for engagement?

If you have used both, which platform has worked better for building an active community

In my experience, it depends on the audience, but Discord has been better for building an active, engaged community. Real-time conversations, channels for different topics, and community events keep members involved. Traditional forums are still excellent for searchable, long-form discussions, but Discord generally creates more day-to-day interaction and stronger engagement.

It depends on your goal: Telegram groups are better for fast, high-volume conversations, while Discord communities offer stronger long-term engagement through organized channels, roles, and community features.

I think that it totally depends of your target audience age, if it is <25 y.o. than it might be discord, and if it is >25 y.o. than telegram. But also you need to know geo of this audience for sure.
