This is a known kbin/lemmy thing. Kbin sends dates with a timezone attached, lemmy expects UTC. I actually keep meaning to set the server to UTC to stop this happening.

Iirc the Lemmy devs are aware of this and working on it.

Yeah, we can also solve it by setting server to UTC. Hopefully the time on this comment is better.

EDIT: Apparently not. How odd, I changed the server timezone.
