Yes, yogurt with active cultures or a probiotic pill are just about the same thing.
I don't fancy taking in someone else's poo, myself.
Respectfully they are not even close to the same thing. A probiotic pill can have as few as one species of bacteria, see mutaflor selling a single probiotic
https://www.mutaflor.com/index.html. Yogurt cultures are more complex, but they are different bacteria than normally reside in the human gut. A fecal microbial transplant is literally taking thousands of different species of bacteria from a healthy donor and transplanting them to your colon.
Probiotics
probably don't hurt, and
may help, but the scientific efficacy of most is shaky at best.
