Most of the time, people cannot see if you've read their post. This is a common practice across many platforms to respect the privacy of the viewers. For instance, on a blog site, the blogger doesn't know which individual readers have actually read the post. Only general analytics like the number of views are available, not specific information about who those viewers are.
No. Usually, platforms don't give this kind of information to the post creator. It's about privacy.
Yes, often they can. For instance, on Facebook, if you share someone's post, it usually shows up on their activity feed or they may receive a notification. This is a way for the platform to promote transparency and also to give credit to the original poster.
Yes, they can. When you like an Instagram post, your username and profile picture are visible under the list of likes on that post. It's a straightforward way for the post owner and other viewers to see who has engaged with the post through likes.

Yes, people can see if you've read their Insta story. Instagram has a feature that shows the list of accounts that have viewed a particular story. However, there are some workarounds. For example, if you view the story while in airplane mode, it might not register as a view. But generally, if you view it normally, the owner of the story will be able to tell.
At the present time, Instagram doesn't offer a way for post creators to see if their posts have been screenshot. This is beneficial for users who want to save interesting content for later reference or to discuss with others. However, the lack of such a notification doesn't mean that users should misuse the ability to screenshot. Respecting the intellectual property and privacy of the post creators is still important on the platform.
No. Instagram doesn't support anonymous viewing of stories. When you open a story, it's immediately registered as a view by your account, and your name is added to the list of viewers. There are no hidden settings or tricks within the app itself to make your view anonymous.
Yes, they can. People usually have some memory of the stories they've read, which allows them to recall and mentally 'see' them.
On most social media platforms, no. When you view someone's story, they usually don't get a notification specifically saying that you've seen it. However, some platforms might have analytics that show general viewership numbers but not individual viewers in a way that can be traced back to specific people.
