Does Kbin have a private message functionality? (lemm.ee)

I'm developing a fediverse application and am torn between using lemmy and kbin for the backend. Private messages are a very important feature that I want to include. Does Kbin support private messaging users the way lemmy does?

it only actually works to PM someone on your same instance. other permutations fail, sometimes invisibly

I see. Is this issue being actively fixed right now? Don't mean to be pushy. Just want to know how soon it would be fixed. I really want to use kbin lol. Other alternatives for my use case involve having parallel mastodon and lemmy clients (which would be really weird), or Friendica (which unfortunately does not seem to work that well with lemmy).

I doubt it. They've had more important stuff to work on and probably forgot about that issue in the meanwhile. That said, best would be to just comment on it asking what's up with it. That'll bump it up in visibility.

Will do that! Thank you for the help :)

Yes, but I don't think PMs currently work between kbin and lemmy.
