I’ve noticed we have bots copy pasting Reddit submissions. Is there a method to block them all?

I assume they mean good by ‘generating’ content in communities, but I don’t see a reason why anyone would comment on them since the OP is on Reddit and will never read them.

I know I can block each individual account as I come across them but I’d just prefer to block them all so I don’t see their content at all.

They appear to do the nice thing by adding a line in the submissions about it being an automated submission. Is there a filter for words/phrase found in the body of a submission?

    If you’re talking about lemmit.online, you just need to block the username posting. It blocks the whole instance.

        I’m sure, but there’s really that many? Lemmits whole basis of it is to do that. It’s the only reason it exists. Which ones are flooding your feed?
