I’m still new to fediverse, but I haven’t seen anything about instant messaging. Is there a fediverse platform for that?

Matrix is to my knowledge.
Matrix is decentralised but not part of the fediverse as it doesn't make use of ActivityPub or any other federated protocol. It's isolated in its own protocol.
On the Fediverse no, there isn't. The closest thing would be Matrix (as someone mentioned above). But Matrix, while, decentralised, it's not truly part of the fediverse.
So a chat platform is something the fediverse is lacking, but idk how posible it is as federation = less security and less privacy. For example, it wouldn't be able to add end-to-end encryption.
I think a more finished kbin in the near future and apps for it installation and maintenance is still an absolute nightmare for it, and it's lacking support for non amazon s3 out of the box I'm still trying to fix federation but it still eludes me
KBin seems like the most promising thing I've seen in the fediverse in ages. I've been following it for a long time but I feel like this mass migration might be just the thing that gives it momentum
