What counts as a topic being viewed (as shown in a user’s profile as “Topics Viewed”)? We are hoping to create a badge for users who have read a certain number of topics and are not sure how it’s currently been calculated within Discourse.

This would be a had thing to manage within the UI, but if you need to know the details of who has read a specific topic, you could manage this via a [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) query
