QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Frequently asked: First MAX channels
Which channels were the first on MAX?
Those whose first post came out before September 1, 2025. There are 454 channels like this now, with 30.9 M subscribers in total, 7.8 % of all MAX subscriptions. The largest come first in the list; the tabs above it change the order.
How does datool.ru know the date of the first post?
datool.ru data collection downloads a channel's whole history, back to the very first post. MAX does not give out a channel's creation date, so we go by the first post. A channel joins the collection once its whole history is collected, so the collection is still filling in.
Why is an old channel missing from the collection?
Most likely its history has not been collected back to the start yet, the channel is private, or its first post came out after September 1, 2025. Private channels do not get into collections; an open channel can be added by link.
How do I narrow down the channels in a collection?
Above the list are the “Subscribers”, “Activity”, “Quality index”, “Marks” and “Region” filters and the “Find a channel” field: search and filters work only inside the collection. The tabs change the order: by subscribers, quality index, citations, fresh posts and newest; the “Table” view is handy for comparing. 211 channels in the collection have a quality index of 70 or more.
How often is the collection updated?
The collection and its filter counts are recalculated every hour. datool.ru data collection updates subscribers and posts: large channels every few minutes, small ones once a day.
What other MAX channel collections are there?
Government channels, Channels with the A+ label, Verified by owners, Million-subscriber channels, New channels, 100K channels, Business channels, Post every day, Run ads, No ads, Schools, Kindergartens, Universities and colleges, Hospitals and clinics, Cultural institutions, Administrations.
