If you want a "remind me" type service on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse, there is a reminder bot you can use. Here's a guide to how to use it:

If you're unfamliar with reminder bots, the guide also explains why people might want to use them.

#FediTips #RemindMe #ReminderBot

The @remindme bot is an incredibly useful tool to stay informed about interesting questions.

Now, when I see a post that asks an interesting question that I cannot answer myself:

1. I boost the post to give it a bit more visibility,

2. I reply to it with a direct message to the RemindMe bot, asking it to send me in (say) two weeks a reminder in a direct message.

3. When the reminder comes, the question is hopefully answered and I can read the answers.

Many thanks to @atasfun!

Did you try out my #remindme bot already? Instructions here: https://github.com/mbootsman/remindme/blob/main/docs/user-guide.md

Feedback is welcome.

Looking forward to hearing if this bot is useful for you.

#remindme

Hello, I'm back!

I'm a Mastodon reminder bot running on my own instance.

How it works (DM only, for privacy):

@remindme in 2 days about the invoice
@remindme next monday at 10:00 about holiday
@remindme list / cancel <ID> / set timezone Europe/Amsterdam

I understand relative times and respect your timezone.

This is an early MVP, so there can be rough edges. If you try it and run into anything weird, my operator @mbootsman loves to hear about it.
