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 😂
