https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx4zW_Z6QeKVSnRzPmnF5pAdDIJ4tBikSo:
Ugkx4zW_Z6QeKVSnRzPmnF5pAdDIJ4tBikSo does not seem base64 encoded.
There is no tooltip and the source code of the shown date does not seem interesting:
<yt-formatted-string id="published-time-text" link-inherit-color="" class="style-scope ytd-backstage-post-renderer" has-link-only_=""><a class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string" spellcheck="false" href="/post/Ugkx4zW_Z6QeKVSnRzPmnF5pAdDIJ4tBikSo" dir="auto">1 month ago</a></yt-formatted-string>
I have an idea that I have not investigated yet that is investigate everything encoded notably in Protobuf, notably for continuation tokens.
The whole community post code:

AIdro_k6E7UTsF655DeERRis1BYvl8uSsF973x_Fdovm3dYObcg6BnyGOi5TiYl_QS1VWQCHTQ and AIdro_k6E7UTsF655DeERRis1BYvl8uSsF973x are not base 64 encoded otherwise I manually checked all this code.
Have to invesitgate both the precise community post webpage and the community tab webpage.
What difference with above URL and https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2ChxHEZCmK5Nj4JB649iKA/community?lb=Ugkx4zW_Z6QeKVSnRzPmnF5pAdDIJ4tBikSo one?

As there is the same UI I guess that it is done the same way.
Maybe could also leverage comments but as there is no guarantee to have any maybe it is not leverageable.
Maybe there is some webpage meta-data letting us know that the webpage has not changed since a given date but I doubt so due to UI changes.

In theory can lower bound by the channel creation date in About tab.
I believe that days_since_epoch=19939 is channel thumbnail related but let us check.
https://www.epochconverter.com/seconds-days-since-y0#d1970
So it correponds to today...
import datetime
print(datetime.datetime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0) + datetime.timedelta(19939))
jq '.contents.twoColumnBrowseResultsRenderer.tabs[0].tabRenderer.content.sectionListRenderer.contents[0].itemSectionRenderer.contents[0]' a

As if use future timestamp such as 1732782039 it still returns True, I believe that this value is an upperbound of results returned.
We would like a code supporting all community posts, not all except the most recent one etc.

After about 10 executions I confirm that This channel hasn't posted yet seems deterministic.
Recently I tried automatically create community posts but do not remember where I keep track of that. I remember having achieved an algorithm blocked due to bot verification after a few posts. I stopped investigating mentioning that it takes too much of my time but I do not quickly find it on Discord.
An approximative timestamp is when switching from is in to is not more in, no matter if most recent or not comment.
So:
| timestamp | timestamp + 1 | possible | next timestamp |
|---|---|---|---|
| False | False | True | |
| False | True | True | |
| True | False | True | |
| True | True | True |
According to my understanding, booleans standing for is in.
Dichotomy between channel creation and now.
Maybe the most simple is to guess all community post creation time.
Even if start from most recent comment and decrease exponentially time, cannot know if missed one.
community['backstagePostThreadRenderer']['post']['backstagePostRenderer']['postId']
does not seem useful.

Note that #257 pagination seems to provide precise date of first or last community post of each page. Maybe by finding the precise date of each first page community posts, thanks to pagination can get the ones of all.
