The RemindMe Bot! A lemmy bot that reminds you after an amount of time (github.com)

Im currently hosting this bot here on programming.dev and have it set to federate with everything programming.dev does so you dont need to self host

To trigger the bot just tag @RemindMe@programming.dev at the start of your comment and then put the amount of time you want to be reminded in

  • Supports everything from seconds to years up to a maximum of 10 years
  • Supports other activitypub platforms as long as they can make a message in lemmy (ex. mastodon)

If you have any improvements or suggestions feel free to make an issue/pull request in the repo

~~Edit: Now works based on keywords so you can summon it with !remindme instead of a full ping~~ See edit 4

~~Edit 2: Kbin seems to break it if your comment doesnt have language set to english. Not something I can fix, kbin is going to have to~~ See edit 3

Edit 3: Ive fixed the kbin bug for all communities in the instance. No promises if it doesnt respond in a non programming.dev instance though as their language settings may be different and block replies to your comments

Edit 4: The bot is temporarily offline so I can make it follow the lemmy.world bot guidelines

Huh, that's interesting.

kbin seems to do language via a dropdown below the comment box rather than community settings. It is default set to english, so that's weird it doesn't get federated as such. Maybe, since it's the default, english gets federated as undetermined? I'll try making a german comment after this and see if it federates over as german (= english federates as undetermined) or undetermined (= language federation is broken/unfinished).

Edit: Looks like the german comment federated as undetermined too, I don't see a language label from programming.dev.
