i'm not sure if this would fit in with the ideas behind cohost, but i personally like being able to see what the current big topics are. as much as i hated twitter, the "trending" page was one of the features i actually liked. kinda feels like it helps me keep up with the rest of the world in current events. i think it could work well on cohost if it was kept simple, like "hey a lot of people have been using these tags lately"
I think this goes against the basic idea of cohost not being a popularity skinner box. Use the tag that feels good.
Yeah, if I'm trying to get people to see my work and I don't know if people will look at "artist on cohost" or "artistsoncohost" or what have you it can be frustrating. Maybe something with font weights?

Someone trying to choose between a mess of similar tags for their posts might find it helpful to see which ones are the most popular. Currently they're sorted by popularity in the autocomplete, but there's no way to directly compare two tags that are spelled differently to see whether people actually use them or not.
If numbers are disfavored here, a visual indicator (colors or shades, or patterns, or motion?) might serve the same purpose. maybe a tag could wiggle if it's popping off
