This happened when I first go to Lemmy and I watched it expand. The original was deleted which is sad, and I wish Lemmy archived the deleted posts. This screenshot is a capture of the original post from an instance that no longer exists.

If you find a copy of the original comments, please post as well, it was a fun ride.

NOTE: @DocMcStuffin posted the archived links- https://sh.itjust.works/post/64874947/26837550

Edit 3: I accidentally found the original, original having accidentally deleted the link to the repost. This is me being as shitty as this post. Sorry about that everyone: https://sh.itjust.works/post/371192

Also, the post was made June 23, 2023. Great tip in the body to hover over the years and it will give the exact date. I might add that to the rules for future posts to add it if you can.

Is there a good Lemmy client that shows the absolute date of posts instead of relative dates?

For these "Best of" posts, it would be nice to see when exactly the original was posted, instead of "3 years ago". In particular, if people end up reposting somewhere else, the relative times lose their meaning (like when someone posts a 10 year-old screenshot of a Tweet with a timestamp of "17 hours ago").

    It would be nice, but I haven't seen anything like that. Hopefully someone else has some input.

    I just looked through all the settings in Voyager to see if there's a toggle, but nope. 🙁

    Thanks for checking. Maybe there are some paid for clients or piefed that could check for people.
