Are they still wild strawberries if I grew them in a pot? Or are they more like semi-feral strawberries? 😜😂

We call them “Smultron” in Sweden and they are just what strawberries where before cultivation. My garden is full of them.
interestingly modern strawberries are just a hybrid between two (or maybe more) species of wild strawberries, AFAIK there wasn’t even that much cultivation done to get them big!
If they start peeing in a box and begging for food, then they’re domesticated.
I don’t even see straws in those berries.
Depends on what they do in their spare time.
Those look like mock strawberries. I’ve heard they don’t taste too good.
they look normal to me? Mock strawberries seem to be very spherical and have “extruded” seeds, whereas these look strawberry-y and have seeds that sit right on the surface.
They look like wild California strawberries to me, which I’ve grown in the past and were sweet and delicious:
