Take the following timestamp: 1634587200000
Convert it with:
unix2datetime(1634587200000) 53768-01-03T08:00:00
If I go to: Unix Time Stamp - Epoch Converter, the result is Mon Oct 18 2021 20:00:00 GMT+0000
What am I missing?
From
?unix2datetime
you can see that the method expects seconds as an input. Your timestamp is in milliseconds.
Try
unix2datetime(1634587200)

If you’re doing more work with unix timestamps, I made a package for this, UnixTimes.jl. It uses a nanosecond representation and will let you preserve more accuracy than DateTime if you need it.

If you want others to use your package you’d be better off adding documentation 
Sure, generally do. This is a single type and a tiny amount of self explanatory code, which I’ve not been advertising, just seemed relevant and potentially useful in the context of this topic.
