Discord Event Announcement Timestamp
A good event announcement tells members exactly when it happens. Discord timestamps do this better than any text: F shows a full "Monday, August 10, 2026 3:30 PM", R shows a live countdown.
Use F for the main announcement
The F (Long Date/Time) format gives the complete picture: "Monday, August 10, 2026 3:30 PM" in every member’s local time.
Add R for urgency
Pair an F timestamp with an R countdown near the event: "Starts
Announcement etiquette
Pin the announcement, restate the timestamp 24h and 1h before, and let Discord handle all timezone conversions.
