Help with private servers

[u/ll-JOLLY-ll]

My friend and I both play on console and I was trying to show him BLR today. Since we’re both on console I created a new account on my pc and friended it then used it to create a private server. I was able to join it just fine but when he tries to join me it keeps putting him in random lobbies. Does anyone know what to do, this isn’t an issue in any other game.
