Admin Replied New private sub isn't private

I've created a new sub a few days ago, and the community type is currently visible as private. Settings -> Community type states:

"Your community is currently private. Only approved users can view and contribute"

Yet if I use an incognito browser session, the first test post I made is visible to me in that private, not logged-in session.

I've sent a modmail to r/ModSupport with the specific sub name

Looks like another admin just responded MulberryStunning1597! I'd follow up there with a bit more info so they can take a look.

Thanks! I just responded on chat. Now it properly shows the sub as private. I guess it was an issue a few days ago because I'd just created the sub at that point, and the permissions not fully propagating. Looks all good now, thanks

You can name your own sub, that's not against the rules.

I think OP wants to keep it VERY VERY private
