Subject: [PATCH] Recruiting Telegram feed: add inline "Get Started" button to
 rmcircle.team
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

sendTelegram() takes an optional reply_markup; the recruiting posts carry an
inline URL button (🚀 Get Started — rmcircle.team) under every event, so the
busy new-members feed converts attention into clicks to the home page.
