Block bots that repost from Reddit (lemm.ee)

Is there a way to block those bots that just directly link recent Reddit posts from similarly named subs? Or is this a feature you would consider implementing in the future, if feasible? There's generally no interaction on these posts. They get spammed in batches it seems, which clogs my feed, so I'd rather just not see any of them.

if you want to block lemmit.online, the bot that post is just one, so blocking it as a user should be enough.

also, it does only post in its instance, so you can filter the instance, and that also would work.

I was referring to the ones that repost from Reddit across many instances. It's true that there's still not many, so blocking as I come across them is fine, but I'd rather not see them at all.
