I think that eventually, as this site gets more popular, posts will come in at a rate that could cause your favorite users posts to get lost in the pile. I support following people. But posts aren't coming in that fast yet to really matter that much to me.

Never used Reddit, TBH. :)

But I am on HN. And I would often like to somehow "bookmark" somebody so I can see what else they are saying in different threads.

Maybe add a tab beside the recent and top tabs called "followed", where it filters posts from everyone you follow

SN: How about following people?

I’m definitely open to it.

Do you use the follow feature on Reddit?

How do imagine it working on here?

I’ve discussed this with people privately. We plan on every user having their own web of trust eventually, which is basically an implicit follow based on how you’ve interacted with that user (or not) in the past. But, it might be nice to also have an explicit follow.
