I’m posting this question here instead of in the Wetshaving community because I suspect that it is a facility that exists across communities.

Is there a way to do user-to-user messaging?

    I don’t think it’s exactly what you’re looking for, but if you click the bell icon, click all, then click messages, you’ll see your PMs back and forth. The interface isn’t great, though.

      Thanks. Yes, that’s kind of where I started with this. I figured that there must be a better way. When you edit a private message, there’s a little warning icon that suggests using the Element.io for secure communications. I followed that path and have a matrix.org account and an element.io app, but don’t know how to connect that to sub.wetshaving.social, nor do I know if that’s worth it at this stage.

        Oh, that’s interesting.

        So, Matrix is a messaging protocol, and the little I’ve messed with it looks like an open source discord. I wasn’t aware it had anything to do with Lemmy. I’ll have to look at that to see what if anything can come of it at some point.
