Can you host a private lemmy instance, an instance that will not federate with any other instances?

Therefore no one from another instance can post, comment or view posts and communities from your instance. Your instance users cannot post, comment, or view communities on other instances

Yes. There's a Private Instance checkbox in the Settings.

Yeah it's an option in the initial setup.

Yes - in the same way that Truth Social (Trump's platform) is a Mastodon instance that doesn't federate with anything else
