Solution 1:

You can do this with momentjs diff() method, which can return the difference between two dates in days, weeks, months, hours, minutes, ... based on the option you pass to it.

This is how should be your code:

now = moment()
days = now.diff(date, "days")
weeks = now.diff(date, "weeks")

Demo:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.timestamp').html((index, html) => {

    let date = moment(html, "DD.MM.YYYY HH:mm", true),
      now = moment(),
      days = now.diff(date, "days"),
      weeks = now.diff(date, "weeks"),
      result = "";

    if (weeks) {
      result += weeks + (weeks === 1 ? " week " : " weeks ");
      days = days % 7;
    } elseif (days || weeks === 0) {
      result += days + (days === 1 ? " day" : " days");
    }

    result += '<br />';
    return result;
  });
});

<spanclass="timestamp">30.07.2018 00:00</span><spanclass="timestamp">12.06.2018 00:00</span><spanclass="timestamp">10.05.2018 00:00</span><scriptsrc="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script><scriptsrc="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.20.1/moment.min.js"></script>

Solution 2:

Moment.js has fromNow() function that returns "x days" or "x hours ago" from current date/time.

moment([2007, 0, 29]).fromNow();     // 4 years agomoment([2007, 0, 29]).fromNow(true); // 4 years
