Should I assign all VLANs on a single port? (alien.top)

First Homelab in the making and it’s been an wonderful process learning everything. I am using a Protectli 4 port device running pfSense, an 8 port UniFi managed switch and a Raspberry Pi Cluster for now. I have an IoT VLAN created for these devices on a singular port on top of my already configured LAN setup by default. If I decide to create more VLANs, which I’m sure I will, what interfaces should I assign them too. I am having a hard time finding literature on when to create a VLAN and if you do should you put multiple on one interface or create them on separate interfaces. Like igc0 has my IoT VLAN and LAN should my other VLANs go there or like igc2 for example. Sorry for the long message just curious about industry standards and best practices.

For learning sake and to understand the best way to increase home security from an ever growing technological perspective. Splitting out networks/devices, logically, that have no business talking to the internet.
