Creating tags by typing them?

Is there any difference between adding a tag to the ‘tags’ field of a post, vs. a #hashtag in a reply?

(Oh, that didn’t work. It worked on the other site.)

As far as I am aware, Discourse doesn’t add tags when someone mentions them in a topic. Currently this is not the behavior in the other site either.

I believe the only way to add tags is by adding them in the tag field.

Hm, good point. But it does make #hashtags into links. Oh! No, it only does that if the already exist, e.g. #site-feedback. Makes sense.
