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.

Via the settings you can hide all bots, but you'll miss out some useful bots around here

Also keep in mind this is only going to block good faith bots -- accounts marked this way. So you might end up blocking all of the useful bots that self identify as such but still be left with crap content from accounts continuing to repost more covertly

Like auto-tldr, acronym, piped bot
