    We should report them as fake. Not sure how many reports it takes to get someone to look at it but it might be worth a shot.

    Funny story I was gonna go make a 1 star review in response to this and found out I already submitted one over a year ago!

    So I guess instead I’ll go and mark only 1 star reviews as helpful (maybe also a few 5 star reviews in cyrillic script, just for fun.)

    They’re also definitely doing some sort of keyword manipulation, cause the official Reddit App is fairly high in the result list when searching for Lemmy.

    On another note: hi, I just came here today after RIF stopped working 👋

    I feel like I must be crazy but these reviews do not read like 5 star reviews. Seems super suspect.

    My old 5 star review became 1 star this morning. And like this will remain. Spez can buy the whole Chinese review-farm black market, the end is the end, the corpse is now smelling and will smell until it’s buried.

        Guessing they hit the post button a bunch of times because some of the UI controls really aren’t visually responsive on many of the Lemmy instances.
