I’d second the worry about the bot comments and bot-summoning comments becoming noise, I remember all the “remind me” comments on reddit clogging up comment feeds!
Comment on @PostWatchBot - notify new comments on a post
iso@lemy.lol 1 year agoThis feature must be implemented by built-in in the first place. But your idea makes sense too. I’ll try to discuss this with UI devs.

I’m moving bot messages to PMs right now. So there will be no bot message.

That’s good, though I’d imagine people would still rather not read 100 bot-summoning comments on a popular thread. Any way to activate the bot via PM too? Or maybe by sharing somehow?

I don’t think those would work TBH. Activation can be done by PM, but I don’t think anyone would want to do that.

I might be able to set something up with the InstanceAssistant browser extension. It would be nice to have it in the main UI, but this could help temporarily.
I’ll send a PM :)
