@kdfrawg I managed to get all of my immediate family on it and several aunts and cousins. The aunts and cousins don't use it much but my folks, brothers, sister, and the nieces and nephews use it quite a bit to talk amongst ourselves. We have one group that everyone's in that we use the most but there are also subgroups: me and my parents, me and my siblings, the 5 of us that live in the Austin area, etc. It's working out quite nicely.
I'm firstname_lastname (using my own first and last names, natch) on Telegram. I used "Joanna" initially but kept getting all kinds of spam—none since I switched.
