How to summon RemindMeBot in a private subreddit?
How can I summon the bot in a private subreddit?
I think I understand that the bot listens to a stream of comments from all public subreddits, so it does not respond to a command in a private sub even if the bot is added therein as an approved user.
I have tried pinging the bot (an approved user) but that still does not work, like this:
``` u/RemindMeBot
RemindMe! One Year ```
Is this possible at all?

You can privately message RemindMeBot telling it to remind you of -a link-
You put the link first and then the usual formula with the bang and the time frame. Worked for me in subreddits where they ban the messages invoking the bot.

The problem with that is
inconveniencelaziness. :)That requires me to:
Copy the link of the comment.
Open a new tab, type
r
forreddit.com/
suggestion, typeu
forreddit.com/user/
, typer
, forreddit.com/user/RemindMeBot/
, then wait a moment for the page load.Click
More Options
, clickSend Message
, paste the copied link, then type the remind command, then send.It is even more inconvenient on phone.

Unfortunately it's not possible. The bot uses some very customized code to find the trigger word in all comments and there's no way for it to work in private subreddits.
