   The idea of the Fediverse is to federate with other servers, to allow people from many different servers to communicate.

   If you want a closed community, it might be better to use a non-federating platform? For example a @nextcloud server lets you have closed discussions restricted to members of that server, including chat and audio/video conferences using Nextcloud Talk.

   Having said that, you can run a Mastodon server in isolated mode too: https://fedi.tips/creating-an-isolated-server/

     Is there a place in the #FediVerse where you can create a closed/private community with discussion boards/forums, etc?

     I'm thinking of something that would have the functionality of things like Facebook groups, Circle, and Telegram groups.

     It would be for members/subscribers to my magazine as a place to share and discuss various sign painting themes, a lot of which currently happens in Facebook groups.

     p.s. Another option is setting up a Hometown or Glitch server, they are forks of Mastodon which let you post local-only posts that cannot federate to other servers.
