1 year agoIn the meantime I’ve migrated over to Connect for Lemmy on Android, and it is working significantly better than Jerboa did.
Recent convert from Reddit (June 2023). I am a musician, composer, amateur naturalist, and also a fan of a lot of small, random things.

Oh my god if JDL made Sync for Lemmy I would buy it yesterday. I was a Sync Dev user for like 5 years, such a great app and the developer is amazing.
Thanks. It’s wild how quickly this post got replies lol
That’s something I noticed a lot, too. I’ve used Reddit since maybe 2014 or so, I forgot when I made my first account, but even back then the hostility was so much lower. There are so many subs full of hate and I’m not sure where it comes from.
Let’s get one going.
You must be confused, or perhaps you’re not talking about the same species that I am thinking about. Huckleberries, genus Gaylussacia, are definitely in the same family as blueberries, Vaccinium. They’re both Ericaceae, in the subfamily Vaccinioideae. Gaylussacia is definitely not in Solanaceae.
Two species of blueberry as well as cranberry grow natively in a few bog habitats near my home, and huckleberries are also sympatric with these species.
ETA: I saw some context from other comments in this chain that somebody else already beat me to this. I, too, didn’t realize that there were, if you were, “false” huckleberries in the nightshade family.
To add to both of our shared confusion, there is even a false huckleberry from within the blueberry family, but instead the Ericoideae subfamily: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/553849-Rhododendron-menziesii. I have no experience with this plant, or even really this subfamily, as it isn’t exactly endemic to my neck of the woods.
