I'm wondering if there's any progress on the private communities front? Or any way it could be helped? At some point there was a suggestion that a user story of how it should work would be helpful - is that still the case?

My use case would be something like "private" fakebook groups. Private enough not to be publicly visible, and invite only, but otherwise without high expectations of privacy.

Yeah that’d be a great feature to have. Private communities + invite join links + likely not federated

Yep. Also did a search for open issues on the repo, but can't seem to find the right one.

I actually found some related issues, but I will need to go back and copy paste them here.

Not directly related, but worthy to read through in the context of the question.

I think it's part of this https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/187

Also local only communities, since this isn't really possible with remote communities anyways https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1576
