For communities yes due to cross instance stats but for instances themselves (which the stats above is based on) no. You can just use post read times in addition to the three which will catch anyone who has read a post. Post reads are something each instance has access to for its users so it can do the unread comments feature but it doesn't federate (but each instance self reports stats on itself).
Neat, good to know that there's a mechanism, would there be a way for these statisticians to get this information? Or would it have to be self-reported?
Self reported, no public way to get post reads, its just in the db
