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?

Yes I think you're right about that. The nomenclature is important to get right because once federation is added to the equation privacy (without some form of E2EE) cannot be guaranteed.

So perhaps calling it something like a gated community (like @ex_06@slrpnk.net said) would help, although that term has some other associations with it too 😝
