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?

    Either one works, we’re happy to host communities in any language here. Making your own thai only lemmy instance, so you can have a collection of communities in thai, then federating with the wider lemmyverse is probably the better option tho. Let us know if you’d like to do that, and need any help.

      I’m also planning on creating a Lemmy instance for my language and I’ve thought about naming it accordingly, but then a problem arises.
      In my case, I’d be considering between lemmy.pt and lemingue.pt (lémingue being the Portuguese word for lemming). The former will objectively say that it is a Lemmy instance, while the latter might be taken as a website about lemmings by someone unaware of Lemmy.
      I’ll likely end up going with lemmy.pt

      I want to create an instance for Thai speakers. I’m sure that people will talk about politics. I don’t how to get away from jail or death. 🤦🏾‍♂️
