Matrix isn’t integrated into lemmy: if you want to have an account for that, you’ll have to make one on a matrix server. Matrix.org is the mainstream one. I see you’re a hexbear user, so genzedong.xyz may also interest you.
The only “integration” at the moment is a UI shortcut for messaging an associated matrix account.
It’s a completely different service/protocol. Activitypub (the protocol lemmy and similar fedi software uses to federate) is not well suited for encrypted communications. The main motivation is maintaining privacy.
There is an emacs client for lemmy called lem.el, although I haven’t used it and it doesn’t seem to be far in development.
