The query builder return dates as strings, you need to parse before using them or you will get an error like this one PHP error.

Solution :

Because your created_at comes as a string, you will have to parse it for Carbon to work and Fix it Call to Member Function

{{\Carbon\Carbon::parse($hot_news['created_at'])->diffForHumans() }}

Even though Muhammad's answer is correct, I usually add this type of casting directly to my Model::class. This will make sure that my code of parsing the date is never duplicated. So in future if I want to change the date format, I just have to change it here and all is good to go.

use Carbon\Carbon;

public function getCreatedAtAttribute($date)
{
    return Carbon::parse($date)->diffForHumans();
}
