 ### Broken and hopefully fixed in the very near future:
 
+* Sending direct messages only works if you are logged in with username/password due to limitations of the existing DM
+  API. (Fixed in Friendica 2023.03)
 * Resharing of Diaspora federated posts is currently broken server side. All other posts should be
   reshareable. (Fixed in Friendica 2023.03)
 * Content Warnings/Spoiler Text on *posts* aren't federating over to Mastodon well so only use it on
