You can avoid listing the group in the Groups.io directory, and you can make your group's Messages available to members only. Also Wiki, Calendar and Guidelines; each has their own setting. But you can't make the home page itself invisible to non-members as one could in Yahoo Groups
If visibility is set to "not listed in directory, private archives" I can't find a group. How could I get to home page with that setting??

Somewhat. But there is no equivalent to what Yahoo Groups classic called a "closed" group.

Nor can you prevent people from using the "Request Membership" button or the +subscribe email command. However, if your group has "Restricted Membership" checked you can ignore or reject all such applications.
