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.

Idk if there's already a bot, but I will say that as much as I detest JavaScript, the library someone already made for Lemmy would absolutely trivialise a big chunk of this kind of task. You just set a handler on the username mention and a scheduler to go through the archive on a Cron to send out any reminders.
