RemindMe bot is no longer functional following the API pricing change, and many Redditors are still unaware of this fact.

I thought bots were exempt from paying?

The unpopular ones can be used since they don’t reach the API calls free limit.

I think only mod specific bots were immune. As idiotic as Reddit has been, it might still be running, but, how will it remind those of us that erased all comments and then deleted our accounts? I have a feeling that wasn’t an official bot, so it was probably programed correctly so it won’t spam them with replys to deleted accounts 😢

I looked it up now, and it does sound like Reddit made an exception for the reminder bot according to the bot’s dev: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemindMeBot/comments/13yo8ay/will_the_reddit_api_change_kill_remindmebot/

Oh shit no way, I didn’t know that? Is that the case for most of the random reddit bots? For some reason hearing that the RemindMe bot is dead as well makes me extra sad 😥

  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
