There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

edit: Here's a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

yes, if you have a Matrix account, or if you create one and put it in there, then other users will see a "Send Secure Message" button on your profile page, which will open Matrix to send you an encrypted message.

Oh ok. Thanks for the clarification!

To expand on that, Matrix is a secure chat that operates in a similar fashion to Lemmy.
