Meanwhile on Lemmy:

No one under 18 years of age or under the regulated minimum age defined by your local law (whichever is higher), is allowed to use or access the website.

On my instance nobody younger than the admin is allowed.

now i want to run my own instance purely to limit admission to those below 150cm or above 170cm

That actually varies by instance, it's been an issue because the lead mod of several tiny communities is under 18 and had to move their communities to an instance they're actually allowed to be on.

Well, this community is on programming.dev and the rule here is:

On which instance? Australia has that as a law, from my understanding, and given your instance's ccTLD, I would assume the law applies to that instance.

Beehaw is 16
