Is there a way to block those bots that just crosspost reddit content? (lemm.ee)

I didn’t join lemmy to just see Reddit content regurgitated here.

In your account settings there is an option to show content by bots; unfortunately this only works if that account is marked as a bot. For the bots I have found that are not marked, I’ve just been reporting and blocking them. It took a few days but now I rarely see them anymore

I’m only now understanding that you can report a comment or post.

Ive simply been blocking the account.
