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.

I'm sure it's on the roadmap.

One thing I'm trying to keep an eye on is sup. Not much information at all besides a snippet of 1 to 1 encrypted messaging for activitypub, but the tidbit of working with any fediverse account is interesting. Potentially that could help deal with the different fediverse implementations of messaging. Of course, like I said, this is just me making up assumptions, it could not work the way I envision it at all. The creator just posted something 5d ago about it with "soon" though, so I'm hoping to read more about it

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.
