Every Discord timestamp style, with an example
Discord documents nine styles. Here is each code for one moment, 1795208400 (Friday, November 20, 2026 at 21:00 UTC), as a reader in New York with English (US) settings sees it three days ahead. A reader elsewhere sees the same moment in their own time and language.
t: short time
<t:1795208400:t> → 4:00 PM
T: medium time
<t:1795208400:T> → 4:00:00 PM
d: short date
<t:1795208400:d> → 11/20/2026
D: long date
<t:1795208400:D> → November 20, 2026
f: long date, short time (default)
<t:1795208400:f> → November 20, 2026 at 4:00 PM
F: full date, short time
<t:1795208400:F> → Friday, November 20, 2026 at 4:00 PM
s: short date, short time
<t:1795208400:s> → 11/20/2026, 4:00 PM
S: short date, medium time
<t:1795208400:S> → 11/20/2026, 4:00:00 PM
R: relative time
<t:1795208400:R> → in 3 days
Which style to use
For an event, F plus R is the clearest pair: the weekday and time remove any doubt, and the countdown tells people how soon it is. For a deadline inside a day, t or R is enough. For a changelog or a date with no time, use D.
Keep the whole announcement short, put the timestamp on its own line, and pin the message if the event is more than a day away.

How the code works
The number in the code is a Unix timestamp: the seconds since January 1, 1970, at midnight UTC. It names one moment for everyone, which is why Discord can show it in each reader's local time.
The generator reads the date and time you pick in your browser's timezone and turns it into that number. You can also schedule the announcement itself: SociaHive posts messages to a Discord channel at the time you choose, through a channel webhook.
