We will have community-created post tags in 1.0, but its not possible to filter by these yet.
Specific content filtering can get incredibly convoluted though, and I'd like to keep it as simple as possible.

Tags would be useful for so many things - much more than content filters. For example, posts in a world news community could be tagged with the name of the country.
Having said that, it looks like tags were added in July 2025: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5869. I didn't know about this!
I think what's missing is filtering by tags.
Are the tags similar to how reddit allows users to put custom labels / tags in a Subreddit?
Or are they more like content moderation?

I'm not sure - I haven't looked into the implementation yet. I haven't actually seen this tagging feature in the UI so I'm not sure how to even use it.
It looks like Lemmy 1.0 (currently in alpha testing) will support filtering by keywords, too: https://join-lemmy.org/news/2025-12-24_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.15_and_Testing_for_1.0
The frontend part for tags is currently being implemented: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/3795
Once that is merged it will automatically be deployed to voyager.lemmy.ml where you can test the development version.
