Being empty would be more towards Zen Buddhism. Emptiness is just as much part of the Dao because as fullness because everything is the way of the Dao. Just as nothingness is part of the Dao. And in this spirit Daoists tend to embrace life a little more than followers of Confucianism and Buddhism.
Daoism comes with quite a lot of cultural influences and rites that we often overlook in the west where we tend to only look at the philosophical nature. These all play together in the great scheme of things.
The technicalities are a little bit hard to differentiate for us westerners because we don't have the access to the language and the finer observations. I have to admit sometimes it just sounds like some big "lmao whatever dude" excuse. But it also is quite poetic and calming at times.
If you want to go deeper into taoistic history and practices then this here is quite an encompassing start in my opinion. It deals less with the philosophy but more with the religious aspects which are often overlooked.
