First, this is one of the recent bug which was faced by many users (mostly desktop users). Anyway you can double check whether all the notification settings were turned off in settings > account settings > manage notifications

I'm getting it from subs I *don't* follow, but recently visited, and those aren't in my preferences.

I've been getting them from subs I've never even been to, despite having everything turned off that could possibly be related. Has there been any response to this issue from the admins? Any idea when it might be resolved?

Came here to ask the ask same.

Who thought this "feature" was a good idea?

UPDATE: I turned off all notifications 10 hrs ago and so far I haven’t gotten anything again. Hoping that��s the last of them 🤞🏼

I have turned off notifications from the subs I follow and for some reason it’s just giving me notifications for random subs I may have visited once. No way to disable

It appears that you have already received the answer. The advice and insights provided by others are commendable. I considered offering my own explanation; however, I would not have been able to articulate it more effectively than what has already been conveyed.
