Does an instance not take into account local time zone vs instance/server time?

I noticed when I sort by new, some of the posts are in the future. Is that just an issue with .world (my home instance) or something broader?

From what I understand, this is an issue with using different timestamp formats between implementations. In this case, it's with kbin and Lemmy.

That makes sense, thanks

I think those are all kbin instances, so it might be an issue with kbin? And lemmy trusting kbin's timestamp?

Oh, I didn't notice that, thanks.

Same on lemm.ee. It seems to only be the Kbin instances that show up as in the future.

Gotcha, thank you
