@shauna NodeBB is approaching the problem from the perspective of traditional web forums more than Twitter-likes, so it may or may not look like what you're envisioning. But from what I can see, they're taking their federation work very seriously, including with Mastodon. So it could well be viable as a home base for a community that wants to talk in internal sub-groups a bunch, but also with the wider fediverse.

Is there a Fediverse service that allows you to only post to a list of people and/or custom group? -

For Mastodon, handling conversational contexts/containers is probably a blocker to any serious advances on this idea. Even followers-only posting barely works for a back-and-forth discussion, as visibility swaps per reply between the followers of each person involved.
Some momentum is there though, and maybe Mastodon will see some advances on the issue this year.
