Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open any tag or topic in the Reader that has no results.
  2. Observe that the no results screen doesn't show you which topic you are viewing.

Result: I expected the NoResultsView on the Topic screen to show me the topic name. I also noticed that the heading says "Topic" while the page content says "No posts with this tag". Should those match? Should it be "topic" or "tag"?
