I've been trying for months to get date placeholders in my template to work. It looks like this:
{{date %B}} Megathread: Was lest/zockt/guckt ihr?
Willkommen im Megathread für den {{date %B}}! Hier könnt ihr euch darüber austauschen, in welcher Fantasy-Welt ihr euch gerade herumtreibt, völlig egal welches Medium.
The placeholder works fine in the title, but the second date never gets replaced. Also, how can I translate the month names into another language? Trying to do this on Desktop. I’d really appreciate some help, thank you!

This is not something I've used so hopefully more knowledgeable people come along.
And it only mentions that it works in the title, it doesn't say it would work in the post body.
The second thing is the link to explain the Python date bit of it says that %B should be "Month as locale’s full name." So, I think in the settings you can set a default language, at least on sh.reddit. Had you done that? Maybe that would affect whether it puts the correctly translated month? Again, not fully sure, especially if you had already set that up. Sorry!
Like I said, hopefully more knowledgeable people come along to help!
