On all visibilities your followers only see your replies in their home feed if they are following you AND the person you are replying to.
(This also includes posts where you are replying to yourself.)

Thanks for the article
Does Quiet Public stop search engines & scrapers from seeing those posts?
No, because it's public so anyone browsing your profile page can see the posts without logging in. The only visibilities to restrict your audience are followers-only or mentions-only.
