### Adding timestamp of original tweet to toot
Use `tweet_time_format` option in configuration file to specify the datetime format to display the date
at which the tweet was published next to the "Original tweet" link. Valid format specifiers are
the same as those used to format datetimes in python
(https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior).
e.g. `tweet_time_format = "(%d %b %Y %H:%M %Z)"`
An empty or missing `tweet_time_format` disables the display of the timestamp.
By default, dates are specified in UTC time zone. To convert the timestamp to another time zone,
use the `tweet_timezone` option in configuration file. Valid time zone names are those of the Olson time
zone database (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database)
e.g. `tweet_timezone = "Europe/Paris"`
### Rate control
Default max age is 1 day. Decimal values are OK.
