1367 users here now
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

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