On mobile you can trigger the menu by long-pressing the message. Once the reminder occurs you can snooze (or re-snooze) it if you can't address it immediately. You can turn off the reminder confirmation in your settings.

Remind yourself about a channel conversation by replying

Reply to a channel conversation and instruct Remind to send you a reminder about the conversation. Since everybody can see you setting the reminder, this can be a useful command in certain situations.
