There is an unofficial reminder bot on the Fediverse. It can remind you minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years later. To use it, just mention the bot in a post or reply and include the period you want to be reminded after. For example:

@ remindme @ mstdn.social 1 week

To be reminded in a DM, include the word "dm" in small letters:

@ remindme @ mstdn.social dm 1 week

(Remove spaces in the address to make it work, I've only included spaces to avoid setting off the bot!)

#FediTips

@FediTips Could the message asking for a reminder be private? I hope so.

I ask because there's at least one bot (that is RSS feed related) that requires the initial message to be public, and I don't quite get the reason.

@smurthys It is certainly possible — I just tried it.

@smurthys

Yes. 👍

Also, about the RSS feed one, if you mean RSS Parrot that does now accept DM requests! It was changed in the first update.
