Should someone open a language-specific language server and use the same community name, for example, open source community on thai-language-lemmy.xyz?
Should I create a community with a language on community name, for example, Thai Open Source?

Yeah it’s a tough call. The usefulness of it is obvious, but also in many cases it is so difficult to perform input on certain language even for those who regularly speak and use them. On platforms like Lemmy I will often type in the address manually, like “lemmy.ml/c/coffee” and if I had to instead type “lemmy.ml/c/قهوه” it would be a pain in the ass. I could just have Romanized قهوه as “qahve” and everything would be fine.
So if you’re willing to accept Lemmy being a bit more of a complicated mess then it’s a fine innovation. Many languages would benefit from allowing Unicode characters. And then maybe we can have communities named with emoji…
How about restricting emoji in a community name instead of allowing only Latin alphabet?
