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?

    I don’t mind reposts when there is discussion on the reposts. When there is zero discussion, which is what’s happening with the Reddit copy paste on Lemmy then it’s just clutter.

    If I sort by new, most of the submissions are reposts with zero votes and zero comments. If I sort by activity/hot then I see days old submissions. … how engaging. I’d prefer to engage with new content but I’m not prepared to look over ~twenty submissions to only find one or two real submissions.
