Is this on Debian bullseye? Or on Debian unstable?
If you are on unstable, please make sure, you have upgraded all
Ayatana Indicators related packages _and_ mate-indicator-applet (>=
1.26).
Is the process ayatana-indicator-application running in the background?
What version of that is installed on your system?

ayatana packages had been updated for at least four days. The most
recent upgraded one was
2021-12-09 06:42:02 upgrade ayatana-indicator-application:amd64 0.8.0-1 0.8.90-1
This is what happened (if I recall correctly). First, not that this box
is unfrequently rebooted, and apps usually keep running until something
goes wrong. On the evening of 14 Dec I noticed that some applications
displayed unreadable characters. Restarting each application fixed the
problem for it. On 15 Dec I decided to restart X. Once X was
restarted, I noticed the missing icons.

Debian unstable (0.5.90-4, uploaded today) and pull that in onto your

session (X restarted as usual) and nothing changed, apart from the
bluetooth and email icons now appearing in the indicator, as I had
installed ayatana-indicator-bluetooth and ayatana-indicator-messages
But no Telegram, Skype and Slack icons any more...

I now tried to reproduce this in a freshly setup bookworm VM, running
MATE, UI tweaked so that mate-indicator-applet gets used.
I installed all ayatana-indicator-* packages.
And after that, telegram-desktop displayed ok (DEB from Debian). I
haven't tested with proprietary stuff that uses libappindicator and
such.
I just realize this now, Skype and Slack might not have been ported to
libayatana-appindicator yet and libappindicator has been removed from
Debian.
You might create some symlinks in /usr/lib/x86_64-gnu-linux/ that
point from libappindicator.so* to libayatana-appindicator.so*. Maybe
that
brings back appindicators of 3rd party software.

Wow, it worked!

# ln -s libappindicator3.so.1 libappindicator.so.1.0.0
# ln -s libappindicator3.so.1 libappindicator.so.1
# pkill -e mate-panel
and when it restarts the three icons of Telegram, Skype and Slack are there!
Thanks

Please file bug reports or something against the 3rd party apps'
vendors. Ubuntu is dropping libappindicator, soonish, too. Debian has
already dropped it.
I am still hesitant to add those compatibility symlinks, but I might
for a while, in fact. I'll revisit this after X-mas.
Thanks+Greets,
