Discord timestamps allow you to display time in a way that automatically converts to the viewer's time zone.
Discord timestamps are a special markup that allows you to display dates and times in a user's local timezone. When you use a timestamp, Discord will automatically convert it to the viewer's local time, making it perfect for coordinating events across different timezones.
Timestamps in Discord use Unix time (seconds since January 1, 1970) and can be formatted in various ways to display just the time, just the date, both, or as a relative time.
The basic syntax for a Discord timestamp is:
<t:UNIX_TIMESTAMP:FORMAT>Where:
- UNIX_TIMESTAMP is the Unix time in seconds (not milliseconds)
- FORMAT is an optional parameter that defines how the timestamp should be displayed
