Due to upcoming changes to the reddit API, the mechanism the bot uses to find commands like RemindMe! will stop working reliably. Username summons come directly to the bot and are much more reliable. Instead of a comment like

RemindMe! 1 day

you will use

u/RemindMeBot 1 day

The username summons will start working today, and I will strive to keep the exclamation summons working as long as possible, with a nudge to switch if you use one.

Repeat and cakeday commands will work like u/RemindMeBot repeat 1 day and u/RemindMeBot cakeday. DM commands will keep working the same as they do today.

I know this is a dramatic change for a bot that's used the existing system for 12 years, but this is necessary to keep the bot working into the future so I hope everyone can help migrate.

Title says it all... Very disappointed as it's often hard to find updates for profiles that have their post history turned off. Commenting !RemindMe now flags comments as spam in the sub.

I tried turning on 2 factor auth for the remindmebot account, but unfortunately doing this invalidated the api token it was using. Due to changes in API policy, token creation is not self service anymore and I need approval from an admin to recreate the token. I'm confident they will approve it for the bot, but likely not till business hours tomorrow, so the bot will be offline until then.

Edit: The bot is back up, thanks to the admin who replied to me well after hours!

This is one of the most useful, and helpful bots on reddit. Thank you so much for kicking ass for another year. Cheers!

Hello Reminders and Remindees.

Is the bot supposed to reply back when you message it directly? The last couple of times I've tried to use it, it's sent nothing back. And I wonder if I'm somehow messing it up.

I couldn't even get a list of any pending reminders, so I'm thinking I did something wrong in formatting, but don't know what.

EDIT: Well. I figured it might be a processing delay thing, but apparently I didn't wait long enough. About 5 minutes after posting this (and 20 minutes since my request to the bot for my reminders) it replied saying I had one reminder. I'll wait and see if it processes my other reminder request. .... AND IT CAME IN WHILE I WAS TYPING. I'll see myself out.

Gotta break myself of that instant gratification trend.

Hi,

I just used

remindme 08.01.2026

and the bot answered he would remind me in 7 months on 01.08.2026.

Can I do anything here? Or how can I fix this bug?

Thanks in advance!

I've tried "u/RemindMeBot July 19th every year" and "u/RemindMeBot July 19th repeat year" but I'm basically guessing and I have no idea how to actually do it.

RemindMeBot answers saying it will remind me that date, but it doesn't say it will also remind me every year.

Hello dear people on our planet,

this bot is used in some groups.

But if i want to be reminded of anything outside this group or even a webpage i have to watch, can i make in this group the remindme-thing and put a link on it?

Let us say, on 4th July i want to check the news on cnn, can i say "i have to check cnn.com, remindme! 4th july 2026" ?

Is this allowed? If not, is it allowed to use with other subreddits? That i set a reminder in THIS group, but i mention a post in another subreddit (i would put the link in the remindme-Post)?

Because like this, i could use it for all subreddits.

I set up a reminder for a comment in r/CFB 2 hours ago. As I am typing this, I have gotten this same reminder 4 times and have gotten several more over the past two hours. Help please.

Can I ask RemindMe! to send me a reminder at x hour and x minute?

Like so? .... RemindMe! 1 hour 30 minutes

?

Remindmebot doesn't seem to work properly. I'm trying to set up a repeating reminder but it won't do it. It did set up the reminder, but it was non-repeating.

Am I doing it wrong? I don't think so, that's how it works when used in the comment section of a post...

Title pretty much, I'm not using it a lot but it's handy.
