Sure, take a look at the following post:

I would also encourage you to read through [It’s Time We Talked About Tags](https://blog.discourse.org/2017/10/its-time-we-talked-about-tags/). Deciding how to organize your forum is tricky and that blog post provides a great breakdown of the different benefits of categories and tags.
