Are post tags/flairs a possibility? (beehaw.org)

Hi all, new here but loving things so far.

One thing that I'd love to see implemented (if possible), would be tags or flairs with which posts could be sorted. For example, the Nature and Gardening community could use ones like #photography, #plantid, #vegetablegarden, ect.

In @alyaza's recent post about new communities, @PascalPistachios made a comment to the effect that Beehaw is like a general home server, and other instances can get into more niche interests. I agree with the idea of Beehaw's curated communities (keeping from devolving into the 2k+ numbers I've seen on other instances), but I think a few sortable categories would help greatly as our communities grow.

You can always log in to GitHub and post an enhancement request on the lemmy-ui and lemmy-backend projects. That’s the beauty of open source. 🙂 No guarantee it will get added, but I think user flairs are cool, and tags are always helpful.

There's one already on the backend repo that is tagged as far-future, it doesn't seem like a priority for the main devs but they've said that if somebody else wanted to work on it then it's a possibility.
