You see their posts on your front page (on reddit) if they post to their profile as opposed to a community. It’s like having your own subreddit as soon as you create an account. Tbh I’ve never really seen anyone do that but YMMV and I feel if it took off it would start cannibalizing the subreddit “market”. Most followers I’ve had on my account didn’t really care for the feature but just did it out of the blue.
Basically the only people I’ve seen do it are Reddit Admins. Then you’ve got a couple of subreddit used a bit in this fashion to. Most popular might be r/CGPGrey
