I'm talking like communities exclusive to an instance where only instance members can participate in. This would be great for communities like The Agora.

not really, it would make some content very centralised which feels like against the idea of the fediverse.
But there could be some use cases like status reports of server but i dont really think it bothers people on other servers to see it.
Maybe for some chats of the server with the admins it could be useful but there i feel the matrix/mastodon/email option they offer is for that use case better, for the drawback of the need to change the platform.

I know that my POV is very negative about your idea so i would be happy about everyone arguing against me.

Well, it's useful to have local communities, but I personally find it nice to still be able to join, read, and post from another instance without having to make another account. For instance, I'm subscribed to lemmy.world's "local" community, which is where I found out about old.lemmy.world and mlmym.org. Likewise, if I lived in a geographic locality like Seattle, I might want to join a Seattle community on a Seattle instance, but I'd still prefer to be able to do it using an account from another instance rather than being forced to make an account on the Seattle instance.

Perhaps you could have a system where you can link different accounts together, as in you have your main account from which you view and post from and a secondary account that just transfers the permission to view and interact with a walled off community. Obviously it would still require you to make a new account and link it but after the initial setup it would be fine.

As to how feasible that would be I have no idea
