If there isn’t yet, what’re the challenges to overcome in making one?
Not that I can code, just hoping for at least a layman’s understanding.

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!

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
