Why is there an option to link a Matrix account in the settings?

I’m obviously new. The settings are quite self‐explanatory, but I couldn’t find info on the Matrix input field. What is its purpose?

I know, I have a Matrix account. But why should I link it with this Lemmy account? What’s the purpose?

It would be an alternative to DM’s which, I think, can technically be viewed by the instance owner. If you have a Matrix account linked then you would have an additional option on your profile to receive a secure message.

Thanks, that makes sense.

I just added mine to my profile but I don’t think the encrypted message option has appeared yet. Not sure if it takes time once added.
