My instance says 1 year and it doesn’t show in hot for me but shows in active. kbin.social.
My instance also says 1 year. Lemmy.world, with the connect app
2 years on my instance in thunder app
Says 2 years from lemmy.world on a web browser.
And 1 year on kbin from a web browser. I wonder why all the difference?
Rounding. It was posted in October 2021. If you round up it’s 2, round down it’s 1.
