I want to suggest adding a feature that lets user post on their profile rather than communities

Also i is live chat possible here in future?

    I agree that lemmy shouldn’t take it on itself, but I do think deeper integration into other foss systems is not a bad plan. Being able to integrate a matrix instance directly with a lemmy instance would be fancy and I think exploring stuff like that further could be the key to finally getting us beyond just seeking parity with reddit.

      What sort of integration would you have in mind that is not achievable with a simple web link?

      FWIW: communick does offer some form of integration. Members get one account on Lemmy, Matrix and Mastodon, and they can login with the same username/password on all of them.

      If Lemmy were to integrate with Matrix the storage costs would explode exponentially, the two systems are notoriously heavy! (Lemmy is consistently the only service that fills more than 1 GB of storage in my browser and refuses to clean up).

      XMPP is the true inheritor of IRC when it comes to standard, federated, self-hostable chat / messaging.
