I just got the secure messenger, Element. Is this what we are using for sending private messages? How would i connect it to lemmy? I noticed there is also a group chat feature.

    If you ever get the time, a tutorial on this stuff would be cool. Written as if you were explaining it to a dummy.

      I’ve not gone much further than a few minor tests

      Also, not all matrix groups are encrypted. In element, a little shield icon appears to tell you if it is end to end encrypted. If it is not encrypted it can potentially be read by people with access to the server on which the data is hosted

      (However if it is encrypted you will not be able to read things before your join date)
