I would bet my left hand that it’s possible, but is it feasible to use Matrix for the messaging? Or is this simply out the scope for the project?

    already implemented. if you add your Matrix address in your user profile, other users will see a button to contact you via Matrix

      This is just a link, I’m thinking about making a UI within Lemmy itself to chat using Matrix.

        To be frank I don’t see the advantage here. A project dedicated to making a good chat client will almost certianly make a better tool than lemmy trying to make a discussion form. It seems much better to keep the two features separate and let each project focus on itself.

        i think that even if the developers had the time and resources to do that, they would consider it out of scope. there’s no reason alternative clients can’t do it though
