I just tried sending someone on a lemmy instance a private message (solution to a riddle) and got redirected to https://kbin.social/sub instead.
Is that a bug or just how kbin handles things that are impossible (maybe lemmy doesn’t have messages, or PMs between instances doesn’t work)
I read in one of the kbin discussion threads recently that PMs are a feature in progress, currently low-priority due to the Reddit migration.
I’d be a little hesitant on privacy matters when it comes to private messages. There are a lot of people who might get access to those. With regular messages, there’s no illusion of privacy, but with private messages, there is.
Today, there’s no mechanism for end-to-end encryption or the like.
indeed, works locally but not to remote users yet.
