There actually is a "matrix user" field when you edit your profile; if you put something there you'll have a "Send secure message" button on your profile that does something with matrix.to. See https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines for an example of a user who has this button.
Also note that the unencrypted direct messaging feature here has a โ which says "Warning: Private messages in Lemmy are not secure. Please create an account on Element.io for secure messaging."
I was thinking more like "your lemmy account is already a matrix account" kind of integration, but of course that's way more programming work than what lemmy already does(which I didn't know about). It's definitely cool to see matrix being treated like a sensible default though, very happy with lemmy on that decision.
Yep, I am also referring to that with my question
