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's possible to disable encryption in Matrix. Some matrix clients dont even support encryption.

E2E Encryption is always on in Wire, no exceptions

Wire is self hostable. Both client and server are open source.
