    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.

      Your comment got posted a bunch of times. I didn’t expect lemmy to glitch like reddit lol

        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.

      Same here and i actually was going to take a quick look, but, for my surprise, you can’t scroll Reddit through it’s own app without logging in.

    They also blocked rating the app on mobile, I had to go online and rate it via google’s site, and im not sure it actually stuck.

    After seeing this, I thought I’d go over to the Play Store to leave a 1 star review. Then discovered I had already left a 1 star review (complaining about their shitty interface) a few months ago, which I’d totally forgotten about ;-)

      I did exactly the same.

      Went in with a “fuck spez” attitude and turns out I’d already had a fuck spez moment when I picked up sync after finding the Reddit app garbage.

        I never managed to get it to load anything on my 380mbps internet connection. Every 3rd party app (and the website) loaded fine.

          I have about a similar level of loading inconsistency between these new Lemmy apps, and the one Reddit app made by the actual company. And the Lemmy browsing experience is already way better.

    That’s how you know that they know that the vocal minority might become a vocal majority.

    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 👋

      In the organic results or the paid results? It’s pretty common for competitors to buy your name in search term sales.

        It’s 6th for me when I search lemmy. Visible at the bottom of the list before starting to scroll. Definitely a regular listing as far as I can tell.

        The famous example been Pizza Hut buying ads on searches for Domino’s

    Can’t say I’m even remotely surprised. It’s unfortunate that even user reviews have become all but useless on most platforms due to corpo bullshit like this.

            I posted on another thread earlier and got an error, so pressed submit again and found it was double posted. Also, I wasn’t able to delete my duplicate comment. I’m not sure if it was an issue with the server or with the Memmy app, which I’ve started using today.
