I think that not federating would be better for a private community, but maybe that's just me. If it federates, then it's not really private.
Private communities in Lemmy only federate with approved users and their instances. So if you dont trust lemmy.xyz, simply dont approve any followers from that instance, then it will never receive any private content.
Sure, but I'm just pointing out that these are different features that happen to be named the same thing. I'd also point out that something that doesn't federate can't really be called part of the fediverse, which is what OP was asking about.
