Set the post visibility to "mentioned people only" and then @ who you want to send the DM to.

@katemcwilliams when I click the three dot menu in the "reaction bar", I see DM as an option. Not sure if the bird rules apply in terms of you needing to follow me first.

@katemcwilliams reply or @ mention them, and while composing click the Globe 🌎 icon (world visible) and switch to envelope ✉️ (direct message, addresse(s) only). This reply is 🌎.

@katemcwilliams I don't think you can. You can only reply. (also #NewHere)
