Silver lining: some (possibly state level) bot farm operator considers Lemmy to be prominent enough to be worth spreading propaganda on.

We made it lads

This isn't state level. This is just an individual script kiddie.

State level actors will use LLM's to generate unique comments that seem to be human.

Eventually, state level actors will infiltrate Lemmy. Taking the technology that works on reddit and YouTube and making it work on Lemmy is not technically difficult.

We need to think about how to avoid such a scenario unfolding.

Yeah, someone should probably put some checks in place and see if a certain comment has been posted a bunch of times over and over again.
