    I hate when apps say “3 years ago” or whatever and don’t make it easy to see more specifically when. Just put it in an on-hover popup please. (Lemmy-UI does this just fine, but there are plenty of sites out there that don’t.)

      I was saying the same thing just the other day, although in my case it was for something that was ”2 days ago" - totally unhelpful if you need to know the time it was posted! Just put an absolute date and time (and a timezone stamp if necessary).

      I would argue that even on-hover popups are insufficient, because they normally don’t make it into screenshots and that’s the use-case where you’re most likely to really want to know the absolute timestamp.
