The planting time was coincidence 😁 I read the "pop" comes from the sound the fruit makes when crushed. Maybe "May" is from when they usually start blooming? Though wildflower.org says they can flower from March to November.
I think there might be a federation lag? I can't see all the comments 🤔 I'll check back later, hopefully things catch up.
There's definitely something odd going on. I commented from my personal instance but it errored out the first time. Additionally, none of my posts from that instance are showing up/federating. I know it isn't just me. A friend is also having problems with federation but we use the same host, so maybe the issue is there.
