Oftentimes here I'll see some write-up by somebody, and want to save it for future reference. Copying a bunch of discord message links is tedious.

There are popular bots out there that allow you to react with a bookmark emoji to messages, and then DM you the link to said message (maybe with or without context) automatically.

It would be nice if we had this.

Aren't you just describing the #starboard?

#

(but like, meant to be less shitposty)

starboard is a community effort and will end up with things being saved you personally dont want

#

What I'm referring to is the bookmark bots that, when you react to a message with a 🔖 it DMs you, and only you, the reacter, with a link to it

#

For example, Readwise Bookmark Bot#3742

This could be added to ferris

#

Maybe it could be a context menu thing

cyan ruin
#

That would probably be the best way to integrate it

what about -tag

tags can only be edited by moderators IIRC and if you need a moderator, you might as well just pin it

#

what i'm a bit confused about is whether this proposed bookmark feature would be global (everyone in the channel can see all bookmarks) or per person

seems to be personal

#

i'm not sure why wolf_face feels links are tedious, but if people want this, it could just be a simple context menu in @neat idol which DMs you a link

oh i forgot about this, thanks

#

i guess Melo wouldn't be opposed to a PR that adds that to the ferris bot

quite the opposite, the more the community works on the rustbot, the better!

Links by themselves are what's tedious
