Considering that Lemmy doesn't have karma counts, explain how step one of your plan makes any sense on this platform?

It's much more common to see a bot either wait 1-2 weeks and then jump into bullshit head-first or immediately post a handful of memes in random communities before diving into its bullshit. OP doesn't fit into either of those patterns, and engages in the comment sections of their and others' posts in a way that bots typically don't.
