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

yea i think it may just not be possible yet, looking it up more i've seen people talking abt how a big con of flakes is that flake.nix is not parsed like regular nix files. I'm not sure why they made it work like that but it gets changed eventually cuz that's really too bad we can't do things as simple as imports
