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?

I believe it shows the things they have boosted to you in your timeline. And similarly, if you boost something, it will show up on all your follower’s timelines
With timeline, do you mean the /subs feed?
Just the general feed I think. It’s supposed to be compatible wit Mastodon to some degree that’s why it’s a little unusual.
Your ‘subscribed’ front page
Oh, I recently acquired a follower and I just boosted like mad cause that‘s what I do, I didn‘t know I might be spamming their timeline with random stuff. Oops!
