If you don’t know a private subreddit’s /r/name, open the subreddit in your browser and check the end of its URL link in your address bar. For example, if the subreddit URL is www. reddit. com/r/privatesub1/, you should enter /r/privatesub1 into the “to” field.
Be sure to consult the About Community and the Rules tabs on the subreddit to see if there is any criteria for membership, so you can include any relevant info in your message. There is no guarantee your join request will be approved. Some private subreddits have very selective criteria for accepting new members.
If you do not get accepted and still want to discuss the topic on Reddit, consider starting your own subreddit.
