You can install the Telegram desktop client using the [https://userbase.kde.org/Discover KDE Discover Software Store] or using the command line, which differs based on which GNU/Linux distribution you're using:

An active directory of KDE-related Telegram channels is maintained on Telegram at https://t.me/kdechannels. Contact https://t.me/kdechat to add entries to the listing. None of these are officially KDE channels, as KDE does not officially use proprietary communication mediums. Instead, check out KDE Matrix at https://webchat.kde.org or KDE's presence on Freenode (IRC).
[https://community.kde.org/Matrix Matrix] will continue to be used by KDE for collaboration within the community.
 
Note that a lot of Telegram channels have IRC or Matrix rooms that are bridged to, especially if ran by KDE developers. These channels will typically note so in their descriptions.
