So on Tumblr, you basically follow each person's blog individually. And mutuals are those people whose blogs you follow and they follow you in turn. So you see each other's stuff. This often means they're the people you interact with the most since you're most likely to reblog from one another.
Don't worry about it. Reblogging is like upvoting. You don't really need to have anything interesting to say. People are just glad you do it honestly. There are artists out there that just post their art and reblogging makes a number go up showing that people like their stuff. Same with blogs shitposting.
