Instance admins can change literally any of that information in the database. There's a user whose account info says she's been on lemmy for a century.
You might be correct, although I would have expected the 4y ago part to not be a column in the database.
It would more likely have a CreatedAt column of type DateTime. Then using something like moment in the client you can format to show the date and time since, which makes it strange here that we seemingly have CreatedAt and TimeSinceCreation columns which is odd no?
Why it say 4y ago but account created 2023?

There's nothing to stop them changing the creation date though
Probably a federation bug
Id say this is more likely than admin manipulation.
