Somehow a lot of instance admins didn't really thought through how much work this is and for how long. It takes a lot of time and effort to actually do this right. They underestimated what it takes to run even a medium-sized instance in the long run.
When it's obvious that you are talking about the evening, like it's winter, dark, and you are walking on the street and somebody asks what time it is, you just say 6 o'clock/hour 24.
We use the ISO-8601 date and time format, mostly. We separate the portions by points, not dashes, though. So a typical date looks like this: 2023.12.22.
If we shorten it without the year, it's 12.22., or 5.12.
We say it with just the numbers, without the points, and shorten "hónap" (month) to "hó". So its "5. hó 12", basically "5th mo' 12".
For time we use the 24H format, regularly even in everyday speech. If it's very clear that you are in the late afternoon or evening, you just say "6 o'clock 24" or "13 o'clock 46".
So always from bigger to smaller "powers". It's auto-sorted on most filesystems, table of contents etc. and very clear in everyday use. It's nice.
Are you sure you were signed in to lemmy.world? Because a couple of instances are migrating just now. E.g. lemm.ee is giving me 503, but that's expected, they notified the users a couple of hours ago.
Other instances are working for me.
Perfect depiction.
