After a post of shame where I found out this is where I look for support, I now how multiple questions
-
How do I delete a post?

How do I follow a user?
-
I use thunder, is it just missing following ppl and dm’ing or am I blind?
Multiple Questions?

To delete a post in Thunder, click the … on the post, the “Post”, then “Delete post”.
You can’t follow users on Lemmy, only communities.
And it’s not just you, I can’t work out how to DM people in Thunder either 🤷

I left Thunder for Blorp because of the lack of its DM capability (it can only read, not write). However, I have since learned that direct messages are not private anyway (I guess that’s why they’re no longer called “private messages,” hmm…), so I have barely touched that feature, haha.

Everything you do in Lemmy is not private. Your instance needs to send everything to other instances, and the data is stored unencrypted in the database. Every time you vote on a post that action is sent to every other instance that has a subscribing user in that community. You can see that in action here: lemvotes.org
For DMs, they are only stored in the sending and receiving instance, but for sure the sys admins of those two instances can look in their database and see the messages in plain text.
Lemmy allows you to enter your Matrix ID in your profile, then (at least in the default Lemmy site) a new button appears on your profile page for others, who can click the button to secure message you on Matrix (which is E2E encrypted).

DM writing in thunder is not implemented (yet). I use the webui.

About following users, that can be somewhat achieved with RSS - Lemmy provides a feed for each user's post history.
