Tags that I use: I try to use tags for most things, but sometimes I forget or don't know what to tag things as. Shitposts and memes are generally untagged. I also talk in the tags a fair amount. Main tags include:

Miscellaneous: #about me, #acab, #art, #antiauthoritarianism, #anticapitalism, #antifascism, #autism, #comics, #computers, #disability, #educational, #favorite, #goals, #goth, #important, #my posts, #my additions to posts, #mental illness, #mollusc facts, #music, #punk, #retrocomputing, #retrotechnology, #robotics, #robots, #reference, #space, #things to remember, #video games, #yikes, #yuri — basically what it says

#animals — animals. I reblog a lot of animals, and they are tagged in the plural (eg #insects, not #insect). I will also include major taxonomic categories as tags much of the time (eg #molluscs or #insects). When it comes to vertebrates, I go by major non-phylogenetic categories (eg, not tagging mammals as fish, or birds as reptiles, despite them being descended from them). Note that "buggy" animals will be tagged by clade, so if you don't want #arachnids, #crustaceans (including isopods/roly polies), or #myriapods (centipedes, millipedes, etc), you should add filters for them in addition to #insects. (I do tend to tag worms #worms though, despite them not being a clade.) I also try to use English rather than Latin (eg #molluscs rather than #Mollusca, or #velvet worms rather than #Onychophora) for most things, but do typically use Latin terminology at the family level and below.

Ships: #lumity, #catradora, #bubbline, #chelldos, etc — ships I like. Art of these ships may not be tagged #art.
