Greetings,

sometimes I want to read new comments on a particular post but I don't want to check it every hour to see new comments. It would be nice if I can just say "!remind 5h" so that I get a reminder to checkout a specific post which would have new comments after 5 hour.

I am thinking about making it myself in Rust, but if there is already a bot here and I don't know, please tell me.

Thank you I was looking for exactly something like this!

Hey, if you did want to build this yourself, a handy feature the Reddit version has is that it replies to the comment confirming the reminder has been set, and includes a link to DM the bot prefilled with information to receive the same reminder. It saves dozens of people needing to make the same "remind me" comment.
