Instance languages (self.meta)

Question: I sometimes see posts in PD communities that are not in English (most recently in Flutter community). Is there a reason for allowing languages other than English? It definitely doesn't make moderation easier. Or maybe is there a technical reason for that (like Mastodon posts doesn't necessarily specify language and will fall under undetermined)?

Thanks for the response. It sucks to not have language being set in some implementations of ActivityPub. I think separating the write language settings from the read language settings would help a bit to set the corrent language when writing, at least. But I suspect that needs to be fixed in the core Lemmy (not instance specific).
