Why don’t we get away from humanised date, and simply allow the pod’s owner set their own date/time format?
The humanised one is broken, as of now.
@fastidious This kind of date/time formatting is not possible to control with any of the standard ways to format date/time. It's quite "custom". But we _can_ in general add this option, the question is do we need to make it that flexible, we already have controls for:
- Timezone
- 12h / 24h
We _coudl_ add a third:
- Display relative time Yes / No
Proving this at the Pod and User level....
But do we really need to be more flexible than this? 🤔

@prologic I was talking about this:
1. I might want to use “21 Nov 2021, 21:19”
2. @lyse might want to use “2021-11-21, 21:19”
3. You might want to use “November 21, 2021, 9:12AM”
Give us the ability to use date/time template variables to accommodate for any potential use case, just like Hugo does.

Meanwhile, of course, fixing the issue at hand will be great. 😊
@prologic excellent! Will update tomorrow, already know bed here. LOL.
