Why do I keep seeing magazines on /sub that I'm not subscribed to? (kbin.social)

I usually browse under kbin.social/sub.

I noticed some posts from lemmyshitposts@lemmy.world 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.

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
