I usually browse under kbin.social/sub.

I noticed some posts from [email protected] and many others popping up in the sub-feed. The thing is, I’ve never subscribed to these magazines.

I even went to the magazine to check, whether I’ve subscribed accidentally, but I did not.

    Posts from people you follow appear in your sub feed based on my observations. Doesn’t matter if you subscribed to the magazine in question, I assume “following” is just subscribing to a user behind the scenes. Given a magazine is just a special user account iirc.

    I haven’t noticed this in my own feed yet, but it’s also possible boosts of users you follow are also shown to you.

    So it might be worth checking who boosted that thread in your image.

    Edit: Doesn’t seem to be the case, no, you’re following neither the creator nor booster of the post.

      if what you said is true, that’d be horrible.
      just because I follow people, I don’t want their shit being my shit 😂

        Well why else would you follow them, if not to see them in your feed? I’m pretty sure that’s the main use of following somebody, since it’s basically like subscribing to an individual account as if you were subscribing to a community.

          If I subscribe to someone I’d expect to see their posts only, but I wouldn’t expect my feed to popilulate with their subscribed magazines.

          i.e. If I follow you, and you’re subscribed to /m/memes, and I’m not… I don’t want posts from /m/memes to show up on my feed, unless they’re posted by you.

    Have a look if you don’t have an accidental subscription to kbin.social.

    I had a similar problem. That seems to be a connection point for federated posts and makes all of them appear in your subscribed feed. It does not appear on your magazine list.

      good hint, but nope… not subscribed to kbin.social either. Also checked /d/lemmy.world to make sure.

        specifically the one in the picture is under the domain programming.dev so I would check there. For instance I just checked /d/programming.dev and I see plenty of 196 blahaj posts listed

          ooooohhh… yess…didn’t see that… yeah, programming.dev I have knowingly subscribed to.

          But still wondering, why lemmyshitpost is here though.

            That would be why, the post is considered under the domain programming.dev, which you subscribed to. I believe this is the relevant issue https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/118#issuecomment-942720 but posts are under the domain that show up in the () rather than where the actual destination of the post is made. I imagine it has to do with where the user is, because that user is posting to their local domain’s copy of the community/magazine, it seems to erroneously use that rather than where it’s actually being federated to
