Differentiate between minutes-old and months-old posts and comments

Would it be possible to better distinguish if a post or comment is a minute old or a month old?

Right now for both you use "1m" (where 1 can be any other digit).

This is somewhat confusing. Especially when you sort your timeline by active.

Good catch, we can do “mo” for months and “m” for minutes

I agree, I initially thought the sort by newest option wasn't working until realising m also meant months

This has bothered me as well as when I open a community it can sometimes be hard to tell if it is very active or long dead.

A possible solution is to maybe just do minutes (m), days (d), and years (y).

Edit: and hours (h) I suppose. But basically eliminate months. It’d be days up until 364d, then switch to 1y.

Or have "min" for minutes. The space is there
