Yes, and I would love a meta-research/rationality/socioepistemology subforum!
It would be usefwl because it might get easier to find and talk to the people who are especially interested in the topic. And because posts on the frontpage gets eaten by the time window in a swish and a swosh, it rarely leads to lasting discussion and people feel like they have to hurry (which is partly positive, partly negative).
The tag system would work just the same if people used it (I would actually prefer it), but since tag usage is inconsistent, people can’t rely on it.[1]
Solutions to inconsistent tag usage could be to prevent people from clicking the “post” button before they’ve added at least one tag, or paying someone to manually tag posts, or making an AI help you do it, etc.

(There are more arguments why subforums would be cool, but I shouldn’t be spending time elucidating them rn unless anyone’s curious >.<)
