Hasn't that already been there for a while?I don't think this built-in option is known to everyone, as many people still use the reminder bot.
It's better to hear about this twice than not at all.
EDIT: Just checked the Mastodon Github, it was merged at beginning of 2025, not sure when it was actually released.
