Can we start a group in wire? (lemmy.world)

I use wire (wire. com) for daily chatting. I like it but I couldn't find any good communities in wire. In session, or simpleX, there are privacy (and other) groups in which anyone can participate.. Can we start a privacy group in wire so we folks can also hang around?

It leaks a lot of metadata

That is largely a myth. Sure metadata protection could be better in XMPP, but it is not worse than in most other chat systems, and certainly much better than in Matrix for example.
