I'm not sure what exactly you mean, but the most recent post in this comm before yours is three weeks old. Maube there's someone prolific posting that I have blocked, but I'm not sure that less posts would be good.

MODERATORS
It looks like this when I enter this community:
Like the other commenter responded, I blocked them ages ago. Which means you're right, imo. If the community mod is around, those posts are awful spam and that account should be warned at a bare minimum.
No actual details without click-through, barely any comments, just those posts. And there's no way there's enough .NET new to justify a new article every damn day.
Edit: looks like the site is just an aggregator of other blog's RSS feeds, dressed up "pretty" into daily posts that are almost entirely lists of links. Regurgitation.
At the very least, the account posting those needs to be clearly labeled as a bot account (the account owner can check that box in the account settings).
I blocked them ages ago because of that.
ooh, that one; I must have blocked them a long time ago, I was like "I don't see any such posts"
I personally find them kind of annoying
So downvote them and/or scroll on by. As long as I keep getting more upvotes than downvotes I'll keep posting them, for those who do want to read them (the people who are upvoting). There's a lot of good content in them. Not sure what your objection to them is, other than no-one else has been posting anything else for weeks.
There is too much of them right now
There's exactly 1 per day. As pointed out by someone else, no-one else had posted anything else at all for weeks.
I believe we should stick to “one topic, one post”
Each one has literally dozens of stories in it. Feel free to start posting separate links for each one if that's what you want to see. I myself don't have the time for posting dozens of links each day. Contrary to what someone else seems to think, I am a person, not a bot, sharing relevant links I see each day. The upvotes I'm getting show it is appreciated, and here we are.

I don't want to discourage you from contributing here, because I believe you are acting in a good faith, but... the amount of information you post is unfortunately way too much for this small community.
Maybe try to select just one article that you personally find most interesting, and post it instead?

The Daily .NET News is 1 post a day. Picking one article from it is still 1 post a day. It's all interesting. That's why I get more upvotes than downvotes for them. I stop posting things that get more downvotes than upvotes (such as AI stuff), always have. One person decided to complain about them instead of just downvoting.
I'm glad you are posting links you find interesting, that what I come here for, to see links that people find interesting.
What I don't like is the form of it. You are pasting links to news aggregator inside news aggregator. This form kills discoverability: in other communities, you can scroll through list of topics and more or less learn just from headlines what is happening. In this community - you can't. It also kills discussion - when I comment, I need to paste link to the article I am referring to, because otherwise it would be impossible to tell which story I am referring to.
I might of course ignore it, but I believe it is not neutral to the entire community. Many such posts in a row might suggest to new users that mostly bots are in here, in effect discouraging them to stay. That is why I think we should not allow such links in here, but I'll leave this decision to moderators and I'll accept it whatever they decide.
I’m glad you are posting links you find interesting
...and the people who are upvoting the posts, which is why I continue to post them.
You are pasting links to news aggregator inside news aggregator
No, I'm posting a daily e-mail digest into a federated aggregator. No need to clutter your inbox when you can get it in your fediverse feed instead.
This form kills discoverability
No, not doing it would kill it, since they wouldn't be here at all then, and then you're back to having to subscribe to the e-mail.
In this community - you can’t
Yes you can. Nothing stopping you from scrolling.
It also kills discussion
And yet here you are discussing it. BTW if you scroll back through the other posts here, you'll find you have to go 15 posts back before finding the first one that has any discussion at all. So more than 90% of all posts here are read and not commented on anyway, and that's nothing to do with me posting links to the digest.
when I comment, I need to paste link to the article I am referring to
So same thing everyone else has to do if they want to comment here on a link that hasn't been posted yet. You're still welcome to go ahead and start posting the dozens of links in each one separately.
Many such posts in a row might suggest to new users that mostly bots are in here, in effect discouraging them to stay
And as has been already pointed out, no-one had posted anything else for weeks - does that not also discourage them from staying? Again, your real complaint seems to be that nobody has been posting anything else for weeks.
That is why I think we should not allow such links in here
So summing up your position, new people may think I'm a bot, because no-one else had posted anything else for weeks, and you don't want to have to post the separate links (I can relate), and so they may not stay - apparently nothing to do with no-one else posting anything else for weeks - and so because of that the people who are already here and do want to see the digests - the up-voters - shouldn't be allowed to see them anymore, and instead have to go subscribe to an e-mail to get them, thus defeating the whole purpose of programming.dev being a federated service in the first place. Have I missed anything?
Makes sense to me. Though I'll wait for more comments, and input from other mods, before taking any action.
Judging from the activity of the other two, you might be the only one remaining.
