I can add you now

No link, because only the group admin can make one and said group admin is slow to respond.

I never deleted the guide because it was acurate when posted, and in case someone hits a similar issue on a different distribution, there are examples.

You will need RPMFusion Free repo.

What makes Telegram special vs WhatsApp or similar? (this is a serious question, no sarcasm)
Two big features. One is security, Telegram has the EFF's highest recommendation for security. But the enormous reason for me is that Telegram works on desktops, not just phones, which puts it into a totally different level of utility. A phone only instant messenger is really pretty pointless, we already have awful options for things like that. Telegram works on phones AND desktops. And works really well.
I've tried WhatsApp on Windows and Linux... seems to work pretty well. https://itsfoss.com/whatsapp-linux-desktop/
Security aside, of course, that is a completely different conversation outside of availability.
That website says that the link is a scam. The app does not exist (anymore.)

I don't install from the repos. Telegram auto updates itself anyway. I just copy it to /opt and use it.

I would guess that that is why it went away, although it would be nice to have the repos for the purpose of deploying and removing it in a standard fashion.

RPMFusion Free. You need that anyway for some codecs.
