Who exactly can see a private message on Lemmy? Anyone who runs a server? Or only the sending/receiving server?
And what all is your experience with Matrix? I don’t have an account, and imagine I would need one if someone wants to message me there.

A DM is only visible to the sending and receiving server. It is like an email. The server admin on both sides can read them in the database. They are encrypted during the transport with tls (https). The database is usually not encrypted at rest.
You can PGP encrypt them. That should make them secure.
