Yes, that's what you can do as a public visitor of a repository on
these platforms.

If as a public member (i.e. with "only" a Gitlab account) you open an
issue or comment on an issue/MR you will automatically be notified
about activity on that issue (if you don't disable this in your account
settings) too. It's also possible to @mention any username, regardless
of their status in a team.
