#288 Direct message: I receive them, but cannot create/send or respond to them

Hello I can receive direct messages (got two from 'aab') but he doesn't seem to receive my replies. When I send a message and select a recipient using the > dropdown list, this simply becomes a public message. Aab tells me the menu should have a 'message' tab: I have under **home** - home - profile - replies - favorites - bookmarks - happenings and then there is **public** - network - groups - recent tags here is an example: https://post.hillenius.net/conversation/30061#notice-70577 and from the debug.log POST /notice/new] ActivityPub Postman: Delivering {"@context":"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams","id":"https://post.hillenius.net/activity/70577","type":"Create","directMessage":false,"to":["https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public","https://gnusocial.net/index.php/user/1"],"cc":["https://post.hillenius.net/user/1/followers.json"],"actor":"https://post.hillenius.net/index.php/user/1","object":{"@context":"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams","id":"https://post.hillenius.net/object/note/70577","type":"Note","published":"2022-07-29T08:32:02Z","url":"https://post.hillenius.net/notice/70577","attributedTo":"https://post.hillenius.net/index.php/user/1","to":["https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public","https://gnusocial.net/index.php/user/1"],"cc":["https://post.hillenius.net/user/1/followers.json"],"conversationId":"https://post.hillenius.net/conversation/30061","conversationUrl":"https://post.hillenius.net/conversation/30061#notice-70577","content":"sending you a reply, so I can copy past thing from the debug.log in the issue tracker","isLocal":true,"attachment":[],"tag":[{"@context":"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams","type":"Mention","href":"https://gnusocial.net/index.php/user/1","name":"administrator@gnusocial.net"}],"inReplyTo":"https://gnusocial.net/notice/12310038"}} to https://gnusocial.net/inbox.json 2022-07-29 08:32:03 LOG_DEBUG: [post.hillenius.net:373735.8b531c70 POST /notice/new] ActivityPub Postman: Delivery headers were: Array

Aab helped debug this: it turns out I had the site configured as a single user site. now changed //$config['site']['profile'] = 'singleuser'; $config['site']['profile'] = 'community'; Reload and the menu 'messages' appears. As do a number of messages sent more than 8 months ago, that I had never seen. It's not evident to me why singleuser and messages would need to be mutually exclusive.
