I was wondering if there’s a way I can send people to a private signup / account creation link to my Discourse community that’s closed for public registration.

Yes, visit your user page and press the Invite button – or press the Invite button at the bottom of each topic to invite people to specific topics.
You will need to be Staff for this to work, as I recall.

You’ll see a “copy link” button on the resulting dialog. You need to click through to see that.

Those links are only for a single email address.

The point is to make sure that these new users have access to those groups right away, without having to apply for access.

Yes, we now support this feature!
