Just looking at the last 20 posts (including this one), these 9 are all links to ragebait news stories from accounts that are now deleted and have similar random usernames. Of the remaining 11, one is a weird downvoted post from deleted accounts, 2 are politics posts but from active users. Just over a quarter of the posts are actually about interesting/useful information.

The only non-lemmy.world account: Melon Husk™@sh.itjust.works
Banned in some community because: Widely reported as a likely unmarked bot using an LLM to generate engagement bait
(Profile not deleted)
telokic, sededor, pali, Yecoh, vanes, henaw2, kogito @lemmy.world: gone
All post sorta normal news stories as “YSK”.
As others probably pointed out already, this is likely somebody playing with LLM bots (unmarked). Good riddance. Not sure about the first one though.

Melon husk is definitely, 100% a bot. Displays all of the hallmarks of bot activity and language, as well as futile attempts to try to disguise itself by small grammatical mistakes. Seen countless accounts like that on reddit.
