That means the Micro.blog Timeline is essentially an RSS feed of the blog posts and related comments on those posts.

This always how I’ve seen it, as well, but with a scrolling history. For me, micro.blog is where I “dip into” microblogs that I follow casually. If I want to follow someone “seriously” (like, never miss a post), I put them into Reeder. Big minus of that is mainly that it can be hard to reply to a post that’s a week old. But mostly “read-only” suits me, though I get it doesn’t work for other people.
