Not necessarily posting images right off the bat. It’s suspect but not certain. I was kind of being a dick there. But rattling off hot question posts in their first month on ask lemmy? Yeah that’s 100% farm behavior
• posting exclusively in the one main meme community,
• the post of a single political-pretending-not-to-be political meme (this one), and
• the exactly 2 comments made ever,
are all also very suspect, many bots act in this exact way, and then abandon the account for a couple months to let it age. It seems fishy to me too.
But it is very possible that it is just someone overenthusiastic, and new to the fediverse, so let’s not take up arms, better to let a few bots slip than make real people bounce away I think.
Let’s see at least if they respond, or abandon the account, to judge.
Is that something bots do?

For the record,
• the burst-posting (3 images at a time),
• generic memes,
• account in one of the biggest instances,
• posting exclusively in the one main meme community,
• the post of a single political-pretending-not-to-be political meme (this one), and

do you guys care? i like posting not commenting
You’re probably right. I’m pretty sure now I did this exact thing, like I wanted to make sure there was a post on both 196 communities every day.
