I thought that by following I would get notice if that person(or computer) had posted or something but I been following foolardi for month now and have never got any notice about postings or whatever. So what is the function of following?
 
Not positive, but I think that "Following" is the XF equivalent of a "Friend".
 
Posts and reactions of the people you are following show up in your News Feed. Anyone that was a "friend" in vB shows up as being followed in xF.

I'm glad you asked that, as I'd been wondering the same thing. Seemed like all it did was show the avatar's when they were online. I had never checked my news feed!
