Reminder for any newbie: communication in Lemmy, PieFed, and MBin is not private. Sure, the devs AFAIK might not be selling your info (unlike Discord and Reddit ones), but everything you say here is still public, and should be treated as such.

Go for Matrix for your private communication needs, OK?

Not much longer, Lemmy 1.0 will have private communities.

Glad to know - it's a great feature.

How will this interact with federation? Will you be able to join private comms in instances outside your home instance?

Yes you will. There is a flavor of private community only accessible to subscribers and subscribers need manual approval from mods (similar to Mastodon's manual approval for following).
