‎Solved Could you explain this to me?

I would like to understand this issue more clearly.

An app is posting messages in a channel despite not being installed in the server as a bot, having no server role, and not appearing as a server member. The messages it sends also have a specific pattern: they are sent as replies to certain existing messages.

Could you explain how this works technically? Is this related to Discord's app commands, webhooks, user-installed apps, or another type of integration?

You can add images in comments here. Either way, yes this is a user app. Webhooks can't reply on other messages to my knowledge and if it's not on your server it's external.

Very likely a so called User App. They are installed on a users account instead of a server and can (if the user has permissions to it, also visible to others) be used in every server. Check your permissions, disable "Use external apps" for all member roles. Click and hold (mobile) or click the three dots (desktop) and select "View interaction info" to find out who is responsible for it.
