You can use str.count, check here for more details 

for i in tags:
    thread_link=i.find('a').get('href')
    result3=session.post(thread_link)
    count = result3.text.count("the")
    print(count)

You are not doing this correctly. Your tag3 will be finding the tag. Also code is little messy. You can use regex for your cause. Here we will search for the in the result text. 

import re
for i in tags:
    thread_link=i.find('a').get('href')
    print(thread_link)
    result3=session.post(thread_link)
    count=len(re.findall('\sthe\s',result3.text))
    print(count)
