Many furry conventions, including Anthrocon, Midwest FurFest, Eurofurence, and countless others, use read-only announcement channels on Telegram to quickly broadcast official news, update bulletins and announcements to followers. Users can find furry groups using Telegram's built-in keyword search, or with the help of external repositories such as the Telegram Furlist.
Common topics for furry Telegram groups include artwork sharing, buying and selling art commissions and fursuits, species-specific chats, organizing furmeets and conventions, and hobby subgroups such as furry gamers or furry pin collectors, among other purposes. Over 2,500 furry Telegram chat groups are listed, demonstrating its popularity among the furry fandom as a social networking platform.
