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.
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.
