RFC for Private Communities in Lemmy
(github.com)
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
Or maybe let's name the feature restricted community or something similar, instead of private community, to not make that fake sense of privacy
I think this would likely be the simplest solution and is worth considering especially since similar concerns have been raised with Mastodon over their naming of messaging specific people ("private"/direct/mentioned only/etc.).
Exclusive may be another good term instead of private.
