"I just honestly can't find a place to build small private communities in a sane way."
Signal does exactly this and I've used it to build a small private community of people who listen to my podcast. It's wonderful.

We are a small group with a discord "server" - and that works for us because most of us doesn't use discord for anything else - and i can comfortably have only notifications for dm/mentions and otherwise read it async at my leisure.
Granted discord has a gazillion knobs to tune notifications - but i could never make it work reasonably for diverse use cases like "wake me up in the night if family tries to reach me" and "never nag me about game updates - that I'll strictly check manually".
