I’ve been doing this too, but, why do they show up in the first place if I’m not subscribed to them?

Sure, but shouldn’t we also need to subscribe to communities/mags from these instances? I know i see lots from .de domains in my feed, but I am not subscribed to any of the communities/mags on the instances those posts originate from.
