Lemmy offers the option to link a Matrix account to your Lemmy account. On the web interface, every Lemmy account to have done so shows a "Send encrypted message" button that directly links to that Matrix account.

Could such a button also be integrated into the Eternity app?

For those who don't know, direct messages on Lemmy aren't encrypted. They are, I think, exchanged via the ActivityPub protocol which doesn't provide for encrypted communication.

Matrix is a different federated, open source protocol, designed for encrypted direct messaging and encrypted group chats. It's a bit like Discord, but federated and open source. You can create an account for example on element.io which offers both a web interface and downloadable apps for most operating systems.

Several new communities to talk about which Lemmy instances are working or not. You can also discuss issues with federation as well as issues with Kbin or other parts of the fediverse. I've created communities on multiple instances to provide redundancy in case any one of these has to be discussed.

infosec.pub !isitdown@infosec.pub
lemmy.world !isitdown@lemmy.world
lemmy.ml !isitdown@lemmy.ml
feddit.de !isitdown@feddit.de
kbin.social !isitdown@kbin.social

Is there a community for discussing which Lemmy instances are offline at the moment?

Edit: I've now created multiple such communities, see below.

Setting a favourite under Subscriptions causes the list of subscriptions to jump downwards a little as a new entry is added at the top of the list. This is annoying when I try to set multiple favourites in a row.

This post doesn't show up in the feed of the community to which it was posted when seen via Jerboa and cannot be opened in the app by any other means. For more details and comparison to other apps, please see this post.

Opening this post (PC CD-ROM games at the hotel I stayed at) by hulemy@ani.social causes the app to crash every time. The same doesn't seem to happen in other apps (tested Sync and Voyager). Viewing the post in the feed is fine though (try here).
