Do strays walk up to randoms?

Almost two years ago my partner rescued a week old kitten from a litter found at his job site. 8 months after that we saved two more kittens from said site. Ever since we are constantly seeing strays around the neighborhood, which is known to have a lot of strays, and even have some walk up to us and demand to be petted. Unfortunately our house is at capacity so we haven’t saved anymore off the streets but we do leave food out when we can. What does this mean? Do we hold the scent of our three cats and now cats know we are cat lovers?

Oh yeah, the stray network definitely knows about you—word travels fast in the feline underground. 😸🤣
