My guess would be this is one of the few major bots that ramp up its posting during Prime Times. I've been trying to use the fediversee for almost a year now and I check post multiple times a day, everyday. The vast, and I mean upwards of 90% or more of the post in my feed are just repost bots from Reddit or news aggregator bots. I'd be surprised if more than 10% of the post generated come from actual humans. I'm sure some of the server owners could give us much more insight on this with post by IP statistics. But my guest regardless is human interaction is pretty low.

Turn off bots in your profile and then ban the two or three bots that aren’t marked as bots and your feed will improve immensely. I forget that there even are bots on this site until someone mentions it in a comment.

I come more for the commentary not the source honestly.

You can just block bot users when you see them. In my experience, it's not a big problem.

I have the opposite impression, that's interesting

If you check posts that have low upvote amounts, (say 0 - 20) you are more likely to see this phenomenon, especially in the technology communities.

Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
