does lemmy have a chat and dms like reddit?

  Yes. Click on any person’s username and under 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.

    This is not correct, Lemmy sends private messages only to the single recipient server. Other instances cannot access it at all.

    Wait, what? It’s just the sender and receiver’s instances that can read the message; it’s not just any server right?

      You are right.

      I believe you’re right but don’t know enough about the real back end magic to confirm. What matters is that dm’s are not private and should not be considered private, both in transit (during sending) and at rest (copy sitting at each server)

      The fact that a message is addressed to a single person does not mean that it’s only sent to that person. In theory, anyone following you will receive a notification about the message.

    That is not true. They are encrypted in transit, but not e2e

  It has DMs, it does not have live chat. For federated live chat, there’s Matrix.

    Made me curious, are there any lemmy instances with embedded matrix protocol? Does it even work like that?

    source

    • Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It’s a different protocol altogether so unless someone went out of their way to build a bridge between Lemmy and Matrix, probably not.

    Don’t remind me..

  Yes, but if you want a real one-to-one, private chat system use Matrix or XMPP. Treat anything you write on Lemmy as public information.

  source

  • nutomic@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Not public. Private messages can only be accessed by your own admin, and the admin of the recipient. Other instances cannot access it in any way.

  We can chat. What would you like to chat about?
