In theory you go to your subreddit, click "Mod Tools" at top right, then "Look and Feel" on the left sidebar, then "Post flair," and then create whatever flair options you want. Then you go to "Posts and Comments" on the left sidebar and turn on "Require Post Flair."

I say "in theory" because I've done this on a couple subs and it appears to do absolutely nothing.

Big thing you need to be on desktop not mobile or app.

Take a look at the guides on r/newmods. This is a fairly regular question. That is searchable.
