Thank you! Would you be able to explain what element.io is? I'm going around trying all the buttons and when I click the button to PM someone I get a note saying it's not secure and to make an account on element.io
That's the second time this site or someone on it has prompted me to make another account somewhere else (the first was mastodon,) and I'm not really grasping why. I understand the "login for secure communications" part, but not how all these apps/websites work together and which ones I need. I signed up for Mastodon but it's like a 3rd party app for Twitter and that has me extra confused.
Element is a client for Matrix, a decentralized chat protocol featuring end-to-end-encryption. Lemmy seems to support DMs over the Matrix Chat protocol. Matrix is federated, so user1@matrix.org can talk to user2@matrixinstance.space.
Some fediverse apps can work together seamlessly, some can't, and support seems to be growing over time. E. g. Mastodon users can comment on PeerTube, but Lemmy users can't (not that I know of), but it's not impossible that will change in the future. But, kbin for example integrates seamlessly into Lemmy.
