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.

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.
