Can lemmy users message kbin users? (lemmy.world)

Is it possible to send messages between lemmy users and kbin users. Not using Matrix, but the "fediverse" messanger?

The short answer is no but the longer answer for what happens in each situation was detailed here: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1051

lemmy -> kbin = pretends to send but doesn't

This sounds like the kind of thing that can needlessly create misunderstandings.

A kbin user asked me to DM them and I haven’t received a reply so as of right now I’m assuming no.

Based on issues #163, #633, and #1051, kbin currently doesn't support messaging between different instances, which will automatically mean kbin <-> lemmy won't work. I imagine at some point in the future it'll probably get worked on though.

I didn't know kbin supported direct messaging at all. I'll have to remember that.
