Hey everyone! Figured I would do a post about this bot here to get the word out that it exists. I recently brought back online and updated my remindme bot to 1.4 to make it comply with the lemmy.world bot guidelines.
This bot works across the fediverse but is primarily aimed at Pangora, Lemmy, and Kbin communities.
It functions on an allowlist in terms of what communities it participates in so if you want your community to be able to use it put a request by creating an issue in in the repository and itll get added
This bot aims to give people an easy way to remind themselves about an event on the fediverse. For example if theres something releasing in a couple months people can set a reminder using @RemindMe@programming.dev 2 months and they will get a reply to that message 2 months from then reminding them about it so they can check it out. (reminders are handled by replies so that it functions in kbin communities, and so that users from platforms such as mastodon can also use it in the communities)
Bot is fully open source so feel free to make pull requests with new features if you want or customize it to adapt it for your community if you want to self host.
Hope you enjoy it :)
(note bot does not work here since this community isnt in the allowlist currently but theres a crossposted post in programming.dev that it works in if you want to test it out)
no way other than mentioning it. Used to use keywords to trigger it but that got removed to comply with bot guidelines (and since it only really detected the messages correctly half the time due to how lemmy provides the comments to it). If you type in part of it it should give you an option to autofill if youre using lemmy-ui
