It's exactly the same, just instead of "links" and "posts" it's basically only "comments" being shared.
The main difference is instead of following communities (based on specific topics) you only follow people. As such, it is much more about personal connection.
And honestly, for me, I have enough personal connection in RL that I don't really want anymore online, which is qualitatively just worse. It's just so much nicer to have a face in front of you, being able to touch someone, all else being equal.
