Post tags are kind of an unofficial thing that (afaik) only photon supports. So, posters should feel free to use tags as they wish. I can add some recommendations to the sidebar/rules though, like in !manga@ani.social. When lemmy 1.0 comes out, or if this community ever ends up needing to move to a piefed instance, there will proper post flair that can be used instead.
As for the episode discussion threads, I can modify the bot's template to include a tag. The manga community-style tag would be [DISC] or [Discussion], but the anime subreddit uses the [Episode] flair. I don't have a strong preference and would be open to feedback on which way to have rikka go.
Afaik it'll only work if Lemmy has native support for post flairs
Official flair support is coming for lemmy 1.0...sometime later this year. In the meantime, the photon frontend will parse parts of a post title in brackets as a tag. Take a look at the manga community in the photon frontend for an example. It removes things like
[DISC]
or[Discussion]
from the post titles and puts a little tag in the upper right of the post to act as a flair of sorts.
