YSK: Mastodon bots work here too— there IS a remindme bot already!
Why YSK: I've seen several commenters asking if there were specific bots such as RemindMe
However, there are so many bots already on mastodon that will federate with us! Check out botsin.space, a masto-instance specifically made for hosting bots
Just tag @remindme@mstdn.social and say the time after (I recommend you not do it on this post unless you have an actual reason though as it could spam their servers)

How to find the available bots and their instructions on the botsin.space?
The thing about botsin.space is that it's open to anyone who wants to host a bot, so there really isn't any "centralized" listing besides what Mastodon offers by itself, and most bots generally have any instructions on their bios or pins.
Yep! botsin.space is just a server dedicated to it, while ANY server can have a bot
The closest I found to a "directory" was the local page of the instance but that just shows posts made by the bots
Yeah, that's what I found too. I was hoping to find a page that shows users of that instance. That way I can read up the bios of any interesting bots.
