Why aren't private communities on PieFed federated? (feddit.online)

Is that different for Lemmy? If so, why is PieFed's approach to private communities different from Lemmy's?

It's acceptable for some communities, not for others...

To be fair I also don't like the fact that "private" usually means that the server admins can still read what's inside. I get it for images but for text...

MLS on activitypub is very much needed

The weakest link is the social element.

From one sysadmin to watch, now there would be at least 2. It's better to not give a false sense of security, so I understand why one would not federate them at all.

Maybe "gated" communities would be better rather than private in the case you refer to
