I can authenticate and interact in the private message but not in the group

Hi,

I seem to be able to work as expected inside the private chat with my bot, but if I try to start or search in a group where my bot is subscribed and an admin, it just ignores my requests. Is this the expected behavior?

It should work in a group. That's actually how my instance is used. I'm not entirely sure, but maybe the telegram bot settings are preventing your bot from seeing the commands? https://core.telegram.org/bots/features#privacy-mode
