Why YSK: I’ve seen several commenters asking if there were specific bots such as RemindMe
However, there are so many bots already on mastodon that will federate with us! Check out botsin.space, a masto-instance specifically made for hosting bots
Just tag @remindme@mstdn.social and say the time after (I recommend you not do it on this post unless you have an actual reason though as it could spam their servers)
Cool! But does the bot have to know of this community to see mentions? How does fediverse tagging work?
Adding a user’s @user@domain.com in a comment is - to really simplify it - just like sending them an email. The bot get a message that you posted something, it process the message and “emails” you back at that time.
Sweet - makes sense. Just tested it on an obscure community on a small instance. Worked!
