Actually, fuck, I’m stupid. I could have just wrrote dates in the title and not how old it is at the date of posting so instead of (x day old article) it would be (article from xx.xx.xxxx). But now that would be longer though and space for the title is already very limited, ugh… If they make max lenght of the title longer then I will start writing full dates and edit all my previous posts, if not then I will stick with I’ve been doing till now but will write it only if thing is older than 7 days.
If you stick to what you are doing now, you have the same problem that in 6 months, all your posts will list the “wrong” date, as they will have aged. If you MUST add the age of the linked story, I would encourage you to use an absolute date, rather than a relative one, as if you list X days ago they will instantly be wrong the next day.
Personally, what I do, is if the story is older than 1 year, I put the year in parenthesis (2012). If it’s from this year, I don’t bother. Many sites use the same pattern.

You do realise that the site shows you how old the post is, right?
Sure, but if you post a link to an article today saying
“Cheese is great for you (3 days old)”
well, after 2 days, that headline is no longer accurate.
if you post saying
“Cheese is great for you (2023-06-20)”
that headline is great forever
Ight, I will start changing titles tomorrow if I will have time.
