If I follow a person, not subscribing to a magazine, what does that do for me? Do I see their posts/comments somewhere; if so where?
Also, do boosts factor into that or are they purely to bump stuff up in the algorithm?

My experience so far is that following other users has no functionality. Their content submitted in threads is not shown to me in my m/sub page. ETA: I don’t use the microblog portion of the Fediverse and I feel very resistant to that style of social media.
It is nice to see who has followed me - hopefully this is seen as a group of like-minded individuals and not stalkers/haters, but with a very buried private messaging or direct messaging system, it’s not like I feel like reaching out to these other users for a direct conversation.
@HandsHurtLoL It’s not exactly buried as just not implemented yet. KBin is, after all, still in development. Same goes for following people: still in development.
