Darkness leads me to this bug under the pale moonlight 🌑

But as a general tip, it would be definitely better if there is a link or screenshots. I can hardly understand what you are talking about if I haven’t translated the documentation ☹

Embed comments:

The problem is in `embed/comments.html.erb`:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/views/embed/comments.html.erb#L13>

then `ember_helper.rb`:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/helpers/embed_helper.rb#L3>

The fix can be either using the `FreedomPatches::Rails4.distance_of_time_in_words`, ` I18n.localize(dt, format: I18n.t("datetime_formats.formats.short_no_year"))` or replace the link by a different translation string as the digest email.

; I don’t quite understand the current status of server time formats so I won’t fire PR here.
