already implemented. if you add your Matrix address in your user profile, other users will see a button to contact you via Matrix
This is just a link, I'm thinking about making a UI within Lemmy itself to chat using Matrix.
To be frank I don't see the advantage here. A project dedicated to making a good chat client will almost certianly make a better tool than lemmy trying to make a discussion form. It seems much better to keep the two features separate and let each project focus on itself.
i think that even if the developers had the time and resources to do that, they would consider it out of scope. there's no reason alternative clients can't do it though
