I dont know the mechanics of it but I think it affects ranking. As far as empty tags, that is pretty common at the moment while the network grows and builds out communities some tags are very underpopulated

Regarding the empty tag, I was specifically talking about a tag that I followed from a post. So it appeared at the bottom of the post, I clicked on it, it took me to the trending page for that tag, and there was nothing there. The post that I followed to that page should have been there, no?
I mean, I'm not sure. Those are all implementation issues in the UI code and different people have different principals and priorities. But it seems weird.
I think it depends on when the original post was made.
