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 ๐
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.
