I’m a bit lost. Is there a way to see the included Matrix username when visitng someones profile? Or is that not the point at all, and I’m misunderstanding something?

    in lemmy at least in the user profile you can see send secure message - if it is there (meaning - user has added matrix username) - you can click and send message via matrix

      Alright, that makes sense. Something didn’t work then, because I can’t find anything about secure messaging on the particular user I wanted to message.

      On that note, the app also crashes if I click send a message, but only with that user. Weird.

        not all the users put their matrix username in Lemmy. also - at least in desktop when clicking send secure message it brings up matrix client for me (element)

          I know this user has their Matrix in here, which why I was so confused.

          Maybe I’ll try the site in the browser, just to see.

            You can check my profile too if you need another user to check that has a matrix account on their profile

              No secure message option either. Yeah, it’s definitely an issue on my end, my own account doesn’t know what to do

                I’m not seeing the option to send a message through jerboa either, but I haven’t checked to see if its there when I view through a browser

                Yeah, the secure message button is there in my browser if I’m logged in when viewing your account. its with the block user and send message buttons, just below your profile pic and username, and above the “about me” information

          Achtung: Private Nachrichten sind in Lemmy nicht verschlüsselt. Bitte erstelle einen Element.io Account für sicheren Nachrichtenverkehr.

          Alright, so using lemmy.ml in the browser, this message telling me to create an Element.io account pops up when choosing to dm.

          So evidently, my Lemmy account doesn’t seem to know what to do with my catgirl.cloud account. Unless I input that incorrectly into my profile.

          The matrix username to add here should look like this, in my case?

          @myusername:catgirl.cloud

          Right?

      I meant to respond, but forgot like two seconds later. I bring honour to my username.

      But anyway, that works, the option appears, very cool! Thank you!
