How to add the bot to a telegram channel

I successfully added the bot to a group because there was an option for it.
But I don't see any option for a channel?
How can I add the bot to a channel?

• The inline mode simply doesn't work, it will get stuck in loading when you mention the bot username in the input field

You have to manually edit your database.

I didn’t tested it, but try this: - Add your bot to a group. - Subscribe where you want your tweets from. - Add your bot to a channel. - Stop your bot. - Open your database and replace the group id with the channel id. - Restart bot. Change the ids, if you want to change anything and then add the channel Id again.

There's no option in the code. Changing the DB manually as @Adem1987 explains is a way to do this. I'd accept a PR that allows to do this "in-band" via telegram, interacting with the bot :)
