Glossary
Every Limzo term, defined.
Karma, XP, flair, chat couples — the vocabulary behind the leaderboard, in one place. Curious how these are actually calculated? See the methodology.
The game layer
- Karma
- Limzo's measure of helpful, positive participation — earned automatically from replies people engage with, reactions received, answers, and restarting quiet chats. Positive-only, with no
!karmacommand to game. It's the raw signal behind XP. More on karma → - XP
- A member's cumulative karma. XP is what levels are built from, so status reflects contribution rather than message count.
- Level
- A number that rises as XP grows, following a curve where each level costs a little more than the last. Levels climb indefinitely.
- Badge tier
- One of six milestone ranks tied to level: 🥚 Newcomer, 🐣 Regular, ⭐ Familiar, 🔥 Veteran, 💎 Elite, 👑 Legend. Permanent, and renamable on Pro/Community.
- Achievement
- A collectible one-time unlock (nine in total) rewarding a specific behavior — 💯 Century, 🌙 Night Owl, 🔥 Devoted, and more. Earned once, kept forever.
- Streak
- Consecutive days a member has been active. Long streaks feed the 🔥 Devoted achievement and appear in weekly “streak stakes”.
- Flair
- A cosmetic emoji a member buys with Telegram Stars via
/flair. Shows next to their name — purely decorative, never affects rank.
Fun stats
- Chat couples
- The pairs of members who reply to each other most — the group's strongest conversation bonds.
- Reaction economy
- Who gives reactions vs who receives them: the most generous reactor, the biggest reaction magnet, and the crowd favourite message.
- First responder
- The member with the fastest typical reply — measured as median reply latency, not a lucky single answer.
- Personality corner
- Playful character awards from message signals: the Shouter (all-caps), the Interrogator (questions), Sunshine vs Storm cloud (emoji tone), Novelist vs Minimalist (length).
- Time champions
- Members who own specific parts of the day — the early bird, the night owl — from each person's active-hours pattern.
- Quote of the week
- A standout text message surfaced in the weekly highlights and on the public page. Quotes come from text only and can be switched off.
- Word cloud
- The group's most-used words, visualized. A Pro/Community feature — Free plans don't store word-level data.
Posts & the product
- Public stats page
- Your group's live page at limzo.com/s/yourgroup — leaderboards, levels, achievements, charts, quotes — with a share button on every panel. See an example →
- Private group protection
- Groups without a public t.me address are detected automatically: their stats page carries a Private group tag and never shows verbatim message content — no quotes or message previews, on any plan. Aggregate stats, leaderboards, and levels still work.
- Weekly highlights
- An optional recap Limzo posts in the group each week: awards, top members, champions, achievements, and the quote of the week. Posts into your most active topic in forum groups.
- Welcome greeting
- An optional short hello Limzo posts when new members join, pointing them to the group's stats. Batched and rate-limited, so join floods never spam the chat. Switch it off in the Mini App.
- Join/leave cleanup
- An optional switch that makes Limzo auto-delete Telegram's “joined the group” and “left the group” service messages seconds after they appear. Off by default, free on every plan.
- Admin report
- A private DM to admins with a link to the full weekly report — growth vs last week, top members, peak hours, and the 13-week engagement trend. Only people with the link can open it; forward it to a co-admin if you like. It’s never posted to the group.
- Bouncer's report
- The friendly, public-facing summary of what Limzo's light moderation removed — spam and channel-promo noise — so the stats stay clean.
- Network shield
- Optional protection that blocks spam links and usernames already confirmed by admins in several other Limzo groups. Your own allow and trust lists always win, and it has a per-group off switch.
- Flood & duplicate control
- Catches spam with no bad words in it: the same message pasted several times, or a rapid burst from one member. The copies are removed and the sender gets a short cool-down — never a ban. Admins and trusted users are exempt. On by default, per-group off switch.
- Impersonator guard
- Watches for members who join with — or rename themselves to — a name mimicking one of your admins. Admins get a private alert with one-tap Ban / Looks-fine buttons; Pro groups can auto-mute or auto-ban clear impersonators. On by default, per-group off switch.
- Suspicious recruiter alerts
- When a spammer is banned or muted, Limzo checks who brought them in. If one member keeps adding people who all turn out to be spam, admins get a single private heads-up with one-tap Ban, Mute, or Trust buttons. Limzo never punishes the recruiter automatically — your call. Only deliberate adds and named invite links count; admins are never flagged.
- Bot language
- The language Limzo speaks inside your group — weekly highlights, level-ups, greetings, weekly reports, and /commands. Auto-detected from what members actually chat in (currently English, Russian, Spanish, Indonesian, Portuguese, Turkish, Persian, Italian, Arabic, Hindi, Vietnamese, Amharic, and Malay, more coming), with an admin override in the Mini App settings. Private admin DMs — report previews and moderation alerts — follow each admin's own Telegram language instead, and the admin Mini App interface does the same. limzo.com itself is fully mirrored in Russian, Spanish, Indonesian, Portuguese, Turkish, Persian, Italian, Arabic, Hindi, Vietnamese, Amharic, and Malay at /ru/, /es/, /id/, /pt/, /tr/, /fa/, /it/, /ar/, /hi/, /vi/, /am/, and /ms/ addresses — public stats pages, the group directory, and every guide and tool page.
- Mini App
- The admin control panel that opens inside Telegram: schedules, public-page settings, moderation, badge titles, plans, and one-tap data deletion. Every setting autosaves, and the interface follows your Telegram language (English, Russian, Spanish, Indonesian, Portuguese, Turkish, Persian, Italian, Arabic, Hindi, Vietnamese, Amharic, and Malay today).
- Boost / Booster
- A member who boosts the group on Telegram. Boosters earn karma for the days they boost and appear on a “wall of fame” panel.
- Top recruiters
- A public leaderboard of the members who bring the most people into the group — counted from manual adds and named invite links. Each member is credited to one recruiter, so re-adding can't inflate the numbers.
- Group mood
- A light read of the chat's tone — sunny, upbeat, balanced, cloudy, or stormy — from the balance of positive vs negative emoji. It only shows once there's enough emotive signal, and the weekly recap notes whether the mood got sunnier or cloudier than last week.
Plans & data
- Free / Pro / Community
- The three plans. Free ($0) includes the full game layer and a 7-day public view; Pro ($9/mo) unlocks longer history, no branding, custom badge titles and schedules, and the word cloud; Community ($25/mo) adds much higher limits and the longest retention. Full pricing →
- Tracked messages
- The monthly count of messages Limzo measures for a group — the meter each plan is sized around (10k Free, 100k Pro, 1M Community).
- Retention window
- How long detailed data is kept before automatic pruning. Lifetime progress like levels and achievements is kept while the group uses Limzo; detail is short-lived. Details →
- Aggregated stats
- Counters (messages per day, active hours, reactions, karma) rather than a stored copy of every message — the bulk of what Limzo keeps.
- Telegram Stars
- Telegram's in-app currency used to pay for Pro/Community and member flair. Telegram processes the payment; Limzo only receives a confirmation.
- Promo code
- A redeemable code that grants a group a time-limited trial of a paid plan, entered on the upgrade screen in the Mini App. No cash value.
