People say that because it means that they don’t know what manga the person asking is looking for, but they also are interested in knowing what it is. On mangago it’s a thing where if you comment on a post you get a notification when other people comment on that post.
when someone is looking for a yaoi, they usually describe the plot
If you don’t know the name of the manga but would like to know, then you just write “following” in case someone has the answer
Oooh, following!
