This account was created sixty-seven days ago and has made five thousand four hundred and twelve submissions to Lemmy since then.
That averages out to one every seventeen minutes and fifty seconds, twenty-four hours a day seven days a week.
Right now they have 897 posts and 2.99K comments, so that seems a bit less than your numbers. Looking at their history they seem to be human, not a bot, and they submit news stories in bursts, which isn't as odd as if there were a constant stream of submissions. In between, they comment and discuss. I make it about 2.7 submissions or comments per hour. If they just have times each day when they binge Lemmy, that's not in itself suspicious.
Edit: I agree now that this is a bit odd.

For some reason, almost all of their activity is during non-working hours in a US time zone. They have bursts of activity in the morning, during a short window in the middle of the day that could be a lunch break, in the evening, and around the clock on weekends. We're currently in their morning burst, and then there will be a lull, and then there will be another short intense burst around lunchtime.
It's very unusual. What I mean by that is that posting only outside work hours is pretty normal, but the absolute firehose of activity every day during any non-work hours including lunch is abnormal. From outward appearances, it looks like a person who has a full-time job but devotes almost all of their waking hours outside that job to shitposting at full speed on Lemmy about Jill Stein.
Rule 7 on !world@lemmy.world says:
We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
OK, yes, that is a bit odd. Thanks for pointing out that the numbers on my instance would be incomplete - I hadn't thought of that.
