   @julian @julian @shauna Federated private groups? The solution is conversation containers / FEP-171. Streams and Hubzilla have private groups, even Mitra has subscribers-only channels which technically are groups.

   FEP-1b12 also supports private groups but there are no implementations yet.

     @shauna @julian @julian On the ActivityPub side of things, lists and groups are very similar. I don't know about Hubzilla, but Streams definitely supports lists (also known as "circles").

     These features are not very difficult to implement. I documented what Streams is doing and published it for others to review (FEP-171b). Getting everyone on the same page is where it gets real hard, but we're making progress

     My original question was actually less about private groups, and more about the idea of being able to restrict visibility to a custom list of people. Custom groups is a distinct but related feature. Both seem to be pretty hard in a federated system.
