Many post-metal artists use sludge metal riffis and I must confess to being a bit confused myself on when to call someting atmospheric sludge and when to call it post-metal.

Here's something that bothered me about the whole Post-Metal thing that only added to my own similar confusion: before RYM added a Post-Metal tag in its own right, Post-Metal was considered an AKA for Atmospheric Sludge Metal. But when Post-Metal got added to RYM many releases that had had Atmo Sludge voted down on seemed to become Post-Metal overnight even when they weren't previously tagged as anything metal. To me that sent the message that if Post-Metal is just another name for Atmo Sludge then those releases weren't actually metal, but if Post-Metal was its own thing, they were metal.

Post-metal started out as atmospheric sludge metal but because it grew beyond those parameters and is based on post-rock, the genre has been recognized as a separate genre and atmospheric sludge served as a holding tank until the sub could be added because everything takes forever on RYM.
Same reason we have noise rock under metal related until we can get it added
