I've noticed too. In my opinion in the place of the "owner", for federated magazines/communities it should say the host of the community like lemmy.world for example

I think this would be the best too. Just like when you see a post thread and it says "This is federated, click the instance to see more", change the Owner to the root instance level or link to the community/magazine of the federated content.
there is an issue about it on the main repo.
It is intended but I agree, maybe just remove the whole field when the mag is federated, or show the real owners in the specific instance that the magazine belongs to.
There's a risk here of reputational damage when Ernest or other instance admins show up as the owner for some of the less savory communities out there.
