It's Google's visible relative-time label, verbatim ("5 days ago", "2 weeks ago") — useful for spotting when a fresh thread displaces an old one, which usually signals a discussion gaining traction. It's a free-form string, so treat it as a label, not a timestamp.
Yes — the same community threads that win this module tend to get cited by AI Overview and ChatGPT. Teams typically track the discussions module and ChatGPT sources together to see where community sentiment enters AI answers.
