I am curious. Why is there no space on 1hr ago, but there is for any other number (any other than 1). Same applies to min, month, etc. is it a lack of space somewhere, or are single minutes, hours, days, etc., normally written without a space from 1?

@fastidious The later I think. That’s why I did it that way. 😆 But please correct me if I’m wrong! (probably am 🤣)

@prologic no, I really don't know. Let me research it a bit.

So, there has to be a space, so it) seems. For example:


1 s ago
2 s ago
1 min ago
2 mins ago
1 day ago
2 days ago



And so on.

@prologic I propose this, which I believe will reduce some code. The last of the references I found on this subject states that “if you are writing about more than one second[minute/hour/day/year], the plural abbreviation is the same as the singular”. So, how about:


1s ago
2s ago
1m ago
2m ago
1d ago
2d ago



After 30d ago we simply stop, and show short date and time instead. What do you think?

@fastidious Shouldn't it be after 14 days (or whatever the period after which the posts get archived is)?

@thecanine I really prefer exact time, not the “x y ago”, humanised, format. I might be wrong, but I believe you can search for a tag (hash) that might no longer be browsable.

@fastidious Yeah, it'd probably be best if people could swing between those two ways in the settings, if that wouldn't be too hard to implement.
One can probably still search for the older stuff, but at that point it'd be pretty inconsistent, listing it as "X days ago" for some of them and by date for the rest.

Sorry, what was the fix? Time related, or? I see something about subject on the PR, not sure if I am missing anything.

@prologic the wording I proposed takes more than just changing words, but because the plural isn't longer needed, and the date change after 30d (months and years are not longer used), it will imply logic change. I am not knowledgable enough to make that kind of change.

Would you want me to add it as an issue instead?
