Is there a way to DM a user here? I don’t see it anywhere in my client (jerboa)

    In the desktop web site, if I click on your user id, there’s a “Send Message” button on the top right area of your profile page.

    I just tried sending you something with it.

    No idea about clients tho.

    You can click on a user name to send a private message, but it doesn’t save the sent private message anywhere. You get replies to your inbox, but no copy of the sent message can be viewed.

    Lemmy lacks the ability to deal with private messages in a dedicated space which is something that’s lacking I think. It lumps private messages in with community messages, but I think that’s confusing. I suppose I could live with it, but the failure to show sent private messages anywhere is a problem for me.
