Yes. There is one on Mastodon that you can use on Lemmy thanks to federation.
Let's see if it still works

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

@squirrel Ok, I will remind you on Monday Feb 24, 2025 at 8:58 AM UTC.
This is cool, you can even request the reminder to be sent to your DM! (Add "dm" between remindbots name-pinging and time)
Yes. It's explained in the bots' bio
Use me to send you reminders about toots! E.g., "@remindme 1 day", "@remindme 1 week", or "@remindme 12h"
You can also use ISO-8601 date times! E.g., "@remindme 2025-03-15", "@remindme 2025-04-20T12:53-02:00"
If you'd like the reminders to be sent via dm (instead of publicly), add "dm" or "DM" to the message. For example, "@remindme dm 1 day"
Can you explain this to me more. It seems mastodon account can be used to post on Lemmy, but is the opposite possible? Can I use Lemmy account on mastodon?
Lemmy does not normally display microblog content from Mastodon. You cannot follow users and see their posts listed on their profile or elsewhere, and as a result you cannot see or comment on their posts either.
Mastodon users can, however, tag a community on Lemmy the same way they can tag a user. If they do so, their post will appear as a thread in the tagged Lemmy community, and Lemmy users will be able to respond to them.
Mastodon users can basically pop up in the comment section any time, should they stumble over it for some reason or another. This could happen in many different ways: They could follow a hashtag, someone could share (boost) content into their feed, they could be mentioned, or they could read the Lemmy community and manually open the thread in Mastodon to reply.
Nooooo!
I think its partly because the Federation process takes time (which can throw off any more precise notifications between instances) but much more significantly because many of the most active Lemmy users really hate bots.
Most bots are annoying but the remindme bot seems useful.
I've used it for years on reddit. It really is useful!
[Media Bias Fact Checker bot has entered the chat full of hope]
No! Bad bot!
Yeah, even I disliked my own comment lol
Yes, but there are several utility bots that are actually pretty useful.
Video download, Remind me, acronym bot. What lemmy clients could do - collapse their messages by default and highlight the bot name.
Auto-collapse bots is a good setting. Each bot's function is in their name anyway
Yeah, we could probably highlight it with the colour as well.
And/or if bot accounts are identifiable (based on metadata) - give user an option to hide specific bots. Like block button, but with its own settings option.
I like the random haiku ones
!remindme make a remind me bot
I think that's a functionality that would better be integrated into the client's. Idk if there are any out there already that can do it though. As someone who didn't use the bot on reddit I felt it was kind of annoying on reddit to always have two or more of the top comments be completely unrelated to the subject. It felt like spam
Iirc there is one, hosted on Mastodon. But because of federation, you pretty much can call it here.
I've only seen post bots, not comment bots.
I would just put reminders in my calendar app otherwise.
