In Kdevelop in Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid (x86_64), version 5.8.220401 (22.04.1) snippets are not available too.
Comment 2 Riccardo Gagliarducci 2022-11-14 16:18:15 UTC 
I can't find Snippets even on Flathub version: 5.9.220803 (22.08.3).
In fact I can't find a version with snippets.

Thank you,
Riccardo

The Snippets plugin actually comes from the Kate package:
/usr/lib/qt/plugins/ktexteditor/katesnippetsplugin.so is owned by kate 22.08.3-1
So just install Kate and perhaps a separate Kate plugin package. The Snippets plugin should become available then.
I don't know if the system-wide plugin will be picked up by AppImage and Flatpak versions though.
Comment 4 Riccardo Gagliarducci 2022-11-15 11:36:36 UTC 
On Debian, after installing packaged Kate and Kdevelop, snippets are available.

But using Appimage is not enough to activate the plugin: no snippets on Appimage.

Thank you!

You could ask Debian maintainers to make the Kate package an optional dependency (recommended or suggested) of the KDevelop package.
