Please help me understand how this view is intended to work. I have been seeing a lot of content on that view that I am not subscribed to. Today I deleted all of my subscriptions to try and see if the view will change and it does not. Am I missing something in how this is supposed to work, or is there a bug there at the moment?

In case it is missed in my comment below: Here is the solution:

Polymono, helped me find the issue on Codeberg where I logged it as a bug.

It seems that I inadvertently subscribed to https://kbin.social/d/kbin.social which is a meta group of the entire server. The problem is that you can only see that you are subscribed if you go there directly. It does not show in your subscription list.

Unsubscribing from there resolved my problem.

Thanks to Polymono for the help.

New to this whole thing myself, but on mobile there is an Icon in the top bar that allows you to switch between different views like local, all and subscribed. Maybe you need to switch the view?

Its working for me as expected. I only the the subs i sub to.

Edit: Found a Theard in a Sub that i do not follow BUT i follow the creator of the thread. I guess that might be a thing ?

I just confirmed that. I am not following anyone yet. I hope one of the more experienced people will chime in with ideas. My profile was created during the crashing chaos a week ago, so it would not be surprising is something is a little iffy there. I noticed the behaviour starting as soon as subbed to a community not on kbin, but on a federated server. Or at lease I think that is when it started. I may be wrong.

That's weird, I only see threads from subscribed magazines on my end, make sure the url contains /sub

[–] mack123@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I confirmed the /sub url (https://kbin.social/sub) view as well as tried it in a incognito window with a clean login. Just to see if its a cookie or cached data issue. There may just be some corruption on my profile. It is not critical, but it would be nice it it worked as expected.
