I see Canapin has offered an AI tool, but I’m old-school so I like mind maps for this…
Mind map noodling
I couldn’t resist experimenting a bit, starting with your initial subject list:

I’m not suggesting that this is a complete, polished recommendation, but maybe it’ll spark a thought or two.
Couple of notes:
- Discourse comes with a Site Feedback category that’s publicly visible. This visibility cannot be changed. If you want a Site Feedback category limited to registered users, it’s recommended to just delete the default one and create a new one.
- You usually don’t want a category and a tag for the same thing. Like, maybe Food should be a category that all food-related stuff goes in, so there’d be no
#foodtag. However… if you want the ability to see all Vet category topics related to food, then you might add a#foodtag to a tag group that’s limited to the Vet category.
