Telegram without ads? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

So, Telegram has launched horrible ads that look a lot like spam to me. At least in my channels it's typically some crypto bullshit. So, I wonder if people know about alternatives to the subscription service for blocking them? Sadly, Forkgram won't offer that option and it doesn't seem to be allowed. However, I wonder if there are still forks out there which block the ads? Or do people know of alternative options?

Where can I find links to join these? Been wondering why everything is dried up.

I would also like the link to custom roms channels. I never used Telegram but may check it out since its something I am interested in.
