When I try to DM someone on the jlai.lu lemmy instance, I get “403 Forbidden”.
This is over Tor but doubt that’s relevant since jlai.lu permits tor, and most likely my msg takes this route:
my PC → Fedia server → jlai.lu (server)
That instance also seems to be federated with Fedia (users from there post on fedia mags). So for that reason I expect DMs to work.
Kbin/mbin is still very much a work in progress and there are certain features that aren’t implemented yet, unfortunately
