Yes, it's very important. For now it's impossible to filter content in different languages. If we have option to create communities, would be a lot easier to bring people to stacker news.

Why Stacker News doesn't allow to create communities?

I see this as one of the future steps (an important one I must say). 

As a fan of decentralization and interoperability, I would also see some kind of integration with the "lemmy" federated network as a big plus. The benefit here is that SN would be the superior tool in the whole network.
