Giving the idea a fair shot, what did people use private communities for on Reddit?

We had one for testing automod, but either that doesn't really need to be private or you could use a closed instance on Lemmy for it.

Other than that, I know of the meme communities that you'd randomly be added to

Some people share game codes, piracy sites, etc, so stuff they didn't want scraped by bots.
