Is there a solution for spam from federated communities? (fedia.io)

Recently, there's been a pretty serious spam bot on a federated community: https://fedia.io/u/@ThuleanSneed@startrek.website

While the spam posts are deleted there, they aren't being deleted here. This is screwing up the comment sections on a lot of posts. Is there a solution for this?

Kbin and Lemmy don't seem to federate admin activity. I get a lot of spam from the various Kbin instances whereas Lemmy spam seems to be dealt with already.

I think fixing this requires dev work on both the Lemmy side and the Kbin side.
