Connect for Lemmy App

Is it possible to block bots? I see a ton of archival bots that repost content from reddit. No one interacts with these posts and I don't care to see them. I have tried using the block user function, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I'm not sure if this is a lemmy issue or a Connect issue. When I go to the bot profile page, it always times out. I'm assuming that is because there are so many posts from the bots. Anyone else have any experience with this?
