Is it possible to have "private" nostr accounts where you control who can and can't follow you? I think a lot of people value that element of Instagram/Twitter/Facebook. I'd feel safer posting pics on #olas, for instance, if I knew only people I trust can see my photos.

Oooo yeah or like on Instagram the friend/inner circle setting for stories. Things like that.
I’d post a lot more to that specific group as well!
Try nos.social rabble has all sorts of blocking stuff on here. You will be in your own little walled garden
Maybe an image server could whitelist npubs. Otherwise you're describing a community relay, it seems. nostr:nprofile1qqsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgewaehxw309a5xyu3wvdhhyctrd3jjuum0vd5kzmp0gankr4 and some others focus on this use case.

Yes. 100% agreed. That’s coming very soon too Olas; it uses NIP-29, which means you can create a private community only accessible for people you allow to come in and content is only published to the relay(s) where your community lives.

Awesomeeeee
It is possible, but you have to consider HOW posts will be kept private. You cannot store unencrypted content on public relays if you want it to be private. That means it will likely involve posting the content to a relay you control, and that you can whitelist who has access to see your posts.
Running your own relay and setting it up correctly to allow only those you want to have access is still somewhat beyond the ability of the average user.
The option of being able to have a group of people who can share encrypted content with each other that only those within the group can see, even when posted to public relays, is being worked on. Looking forward to what nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7ct4w35zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6qghwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2qpqzuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsxjhppf is doing with WhiteNoise.
But isn't it still possible for anyone having access to private relay rebroadcast private notes?
