Since tags get created whenever they are included in a post, the tag exists even with no published posts.
It has been determined that the expected behavior should be a 404 response. If the tag is supported than the expectation is that the admin wants it to show up, even with no posts. (Likely a no posts yet scenario.)
I also really liked that suggestion above to only show supported tags in the /tags page. Would be nice to be able to focus on the important tags but maybe also have a search feature to quickly navigate to any other tag you might be interested in.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
Merged the 404 for 0 posts/unsupported tags. Will be live in Forem Cloud shortly.
What type of PR is this? (check all applicable)

Added/updated tests?
[Forem core team only] How will this change be communicated?
This should mostly just fill expected behavior.
Thanks for the update Ben!
