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.
sirxdaemonWait, what? It’s just the sender and receiver’s instances that can read the message; it’s not just any server right?
NutomicJust to clarify, I had a brainfart and forgot about the servers in between the sender and receiver’s instances, that make up the internet, but DMs are not propogated to other instances?
