It probably wouldn’t have been annoying if you could just disable it. Getting that little notification with a number (that you compulsively want to clear down to zero) was always a pain.
I don’t think that’s possible to do using activity pub, but if you have a matrix account you can add it in your settings. When viewing the profile of someone who has a matrix account set on the web ui, there will be a button that says “send encrypted message”. You should see it if you look at my profile page, for example.
I hope they will add e2e encrypted DMs
Its called matrix
Yeah. Just embedding Matrix somehow would be the way to do this.
It is already embedded
Could you explain? Lemmy runs on ActivityPub.
You can add you matrix info under your profile. If you have a matrix handle the send secure message button will appear
Oh really! That’s neat.
That’s not really Lemmy’s purpose. I disliked when Reddit added it, and it would be an unnecessary addition here as well.
I get that it’s unnecessary, but why did you dislike it?
I don’t want a bunch of fucking randos trying to chat me up. If I wanted live chat I wouldn’t be Reddit (or Lemmy) in the first place.

I tried to register on lemmygrad yesterday to see your Matrix badge, they didn’t approve me yet :(
You shouldn’t even need to register. The button should show up while viewing my account even if you do it from your instance.
It looks like this:
