Separating flake inputs in multiple files (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm starting to have a lot of flake inputs in my flake.nix file, and it's starting to get really cluttered. I'm wondering if there's a way to separate my inputs into multiple files so it looks cleaner. I've tried to look it up but couldn't really find anything abt it

Edit: Well as it turns out it's not something possible yet, apparently the flake.nix file isn't parsed like regular nix files and doesn't support stuff like import
