workgooddoes lemmy have a chat and dms like reddit?
empireOfLove2Yes. Click on any person’s username and under/next their bio there is a button to send a direct message. Not really a live chat thing yet, lemmy does not have the backend for that.
Note, DM’s over Lemmy are NOT encrypted, only obfuscated, any federated server can read the DM’s you send. Keep that in mind when choosing content to talk about.
NutomicThis is not correct, Lemmy sends private messages only to the single recipient server. Other instances cannot access it at all.
