Im currently hosting this bot here on programming.dev and have it set to federate with everything programming.dev does so you dont need to self host

To trigger the bot just tag @[email protected] at the start of your comment and then put the amount of time you want to be reminded in

  • Supports everything from seconds to years up to a maximum of 10 years
  • Supports other activitypub platforms as long as they can make a message in lemmy (ex. mastodon)

If you have any improvements or suggestions feel free to make an issue/pull request in the repo

Edit: Now works based on keywords so you can summon it with !remindme instead of a full ping See edit 4

Edit 2: Kbin seems to break it if your comment doesnt have language set to english. Not something I can fix, kbin is going to have to See edit 3

Edit 3: Ive fixed the kbin bug for all communities in the instance. No promises if it doesnt respond in a non programming.dev instance though as their language settings may be different and block replies to your comments

Edit 4: The bot is temporarily offline so I can make it follow the lemmy.world bot guidelines

      The issue with that is it doesnt work properly with federated platforms like kbin and mastodon. I also cant see who upvoted with the current api

      With the current system only the person it replies to will get a notification since you only get a notification for direct replies. And then the bot account can be hidden by blocking it or hiding all bot accounts in your profile
