Since you have entered into the realm of grammar and grammatical 
corrections...

I believe that the "do" that you originally used, is as correct as the 
"DID" that you (incorrectly) corrected - the poster will still mean what 
the person originally meant, so both present and past tense could be 
said to be correct (although, the use of the uppercase characters, in 
the "DID" that you did post, is questionable).

Of more concern, and, something for you to consider, in considering your 
grammar, is the "should of been" in your "corrective" post, which 
instead, should have been "should have been"...

I can't find the reply about Telegram being a snap and LXDE.. It
totally went poof! 

But how do I get Telegram to show up in the start menu?

To get my programs to appear in the desktop menu I create a 'desktop'
file in ~/.local/share/applications.

The Arch Wiki site is a good place for info desktop files: 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/desktop_entries

Using Google I found an answer to your specific question about Telegram: 
https://askubuntu.com/questions/650180/how-to-get-telegram-to-show-up-in-dash

UPDATE!

I got telegram to show up in the Start menu and launch.

But where are the icon's stored for snaps? Right now the icon for
Telegram is like a purple box with a cog on it?

Sorry, I've no idea what directory path(s) snaps install their files
to. Perhaps icons are close to the executable binary in the file
hierarchy? You could just try looking around in directories and see
what you can find.

Last time I read and that was some time ago, Linus Torvalds had moved his
machines to lxde.  No idea if he's moved on since then though.

Using DE which won't let you graphically edit menu items...

Imagine not needing to create, edit and customize configuration files to
have messenger icon in your graphical interface menu (LOL). Instead, you
have to dig internet and ask usergroups for advice. Sounds like
technology from 30 years ago, no?

It does seem an oversight in the UI that you can edit the name,
command, working directory, tool tip but not the icon. Does your UI let
you simply change the icon of a menu or desktop entry? (Assuming the UI
has similar.)

Anyway, I prefer much prefer this technology than UIs that seem to want
to move, hide and remove things.

I presumed this is not possible when I read this thread, hence my
comment. I don't use LXDE. Forgive me if I was wrong :)

Of course, I can edit entire menu, including adding, editing and
removing directories and menu entries, change command, name,
description, icon, and so on. I use KDE.

CRIKEY! lol sorry I couldn't resist after seeing your signature! :) 

Sometimes that happens to the best of us, we read something and we're
like " That doesn't sound right to me, let me change it".  You then
correct what you said and read it out loud before hitting send and your
mind is like " That sounds a lot better" when its ACTUALLY WRONG! :(
haha!
