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 [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.

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
