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 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.

@FediTips > If you send it in public and include "dm", it reminds you in public.

My experience has been different: a public request for a DM reminder got me a DM reminder.

I could be reading the code wrong but examining the code in the repo (which was last changed 3 months ago), I see the only factor controlling reminder visibility is the DM flag which in turn is determined only by the presence of the string "dm" in the reminder request.

    @FediTips makes sense because the regex in the code to add reminders looks for "dm".
