I’ve heard rumors of this coming but with this influx of SPAM Reddit bots, I need a solution. I can’t keep up with the number of communities to block them all individually. Without self-hosting, what options do I have?

    Temporarily, if you use one of the apps that offer filtering, it does the job fine.

    I use sync and connect, depending on which accounts I’m using (each has benefits for various needs for me that the other doesn’t have). Both of their filtering options are solid. No extras creeping through.

    I can’t recall all of the apps, nor which ones do and don’t have filters, but it’s a very popular feature, so most of them were planning on it.

    Otherwise, you’d need to jump through hoops blocking them in other ways, and that’s more trouble than it’s worth. Like, you can usually add domains to ad block filters manually. So anything that allows such will beef the job done, but that may be undesirable.
