Time Travel? Or something funky with my backend?
Time Travel? Or something funky with my backend?
Terrible title aside, yeah, whats up with posts scheduled for later dates? Is this a feature or something? Nothing accusatory, just curious if this is a problem.
I think Kbin has posts labeled with local time, while Lemmy uses UTC. So if the Kbin instance is east of your location, recent posts will appear to be from the future.
This probably won’t be fixed until spammers figure out how to exploit it.
For fedio.io, the issue is mentioned here
It also happens with posts from project.sefau.lt to movie&tv at lemmy.film
It's not some minor thing btw: those posts will be stuck a the top of everyone's New feed for however many hours it takes to time out, above any other post, irrespective of where and when posted.
Oh wow, ok. Thank you for the info. I wasn't really sure what to search for since I don't know how these things work. Just wanted to make sure that using the recent "old lemmy" thing wasn't causing me issues.
Have a good day!
