I’d be fine with it as long as I could understand the language for moderation purposes. As the admin, I’m ultimately responsible for what’s hosted on my systems.
If it was a Spanish-speaking community, I could handle that and run the edge cases through a translator. Any other language, I’d ask them to post in English or relocate the community to an instance that is primarily in their language.
Again, my only reservations are because of needing to moderate and know what I’m hosting. As long as at least one of the admins is fluent enough in the language to moderate and deal with issues, I’d allow it.
That’s basically just a label. You can post in any language and leave the language field set to undefined or set it to the language of the server. It doesn’t enforce anything.
Most people just leave it set to “undefined” which sets it to the home server’s default language. The language labels in Lemmy are one of those “good idea, bad execution” kind of things.

You as an admin can set which languages you accept content from on your instance, FYI.
