Mutuals-only posts would be useful, and have been requested since 2018 if not earlier. As @ShittyKopper points out there are challenges; Claire's 2020 comment https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/7135#issuecomment-636767048 discusses the issues in more detail. Then again some other fediverse software has them already ... and Claire's comparison to follower-only posts highlights that it could be done, it's just not a priority. So this is another good example of something that's not likely to get addressed with today's structure, and potentially could be a fork with different priorities -- if resources are avaialble, which is of course a big if.
