Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.
We should also have a bugfix release for a few issues with the last release, and have 0.19.7 ready today or sometime soon.

How will a community remain private when federated? Will it not be shared with the admin on federated instant?

It doesn’t say anything about encryption.
Private in the sense of limited visibility and access to prevent things like harassment and brigading, not private in the sense you're thinking. This is not a security feature, it's an asshole prevention feature.
