A suggestion

probably doesn't merit a new thread but nevertheless. ...
Thing like Dozgchen may be found in all schools of Tibetan Buddhism, similiarily to many commonalities of Mahamudra.
I would suggest you may care to start a general area of Tibetan Buddhism and then have things like that addressed in perhaps the header, as to what this area refers to. That way you have less specific boards but perhaps more general participation. Each school of Tibetan Buddhist thought may merit a board technically, but I'd guess the traffic will not justify that. Most would not I expect object for example to a Galugpa horning in on a Kagyupa board or the inverse. There are very many more commonalities in Tibetan Buddhism than differences to my personal opinion.
Start a general board and then have a board devoted to practices. A board for Dzochen, empowerments, Mantra, Mahamudra, Tibetan Language, etc. to add to a general Buddhist board. Being essentially two sections. Schools and Practices.
I would advocate for that. Seems like a mismash right now. Technically correct but functionally unjustifyable.
Just a suggestion...
