Why do I have so many followers compared to many?

Genuinely curious, I didn’t start posting a lot until late summer. I previously hadn’t actively used the message boards. It’s kinda unnerving cause I comment some very sexual stuff sometimes haha. I don’t even understand what following on here does. Is there a separate feed for seeing my following list’s posts? I only use the “New” tab anyways
