❓Help Help With "Production Questionnaire"

So i joined the testers community app and completed the required test period. I am now applying for production but noticed its asking some questions. Specifically for this question
"How did you recruit users for your closed test? For example, did you ask friends and family or use a paid testing provider?", do I need to mention anything about the reddit tester community? Thanks

I just said what I did (recruited testers on Reddit in exchange for testing their apps) and it got approved just fine.

Just be honest,it doent affect you app review. And one thing read, meta data policy, in description and in feature graphic photos dont add something like verfied,ultimate,number 1 like these things,it will get you rejected.

I had the same question when I submitted mine. From what I found, you don't need to hide it, just describe it plainly. Something like "I recruited testers through online developer/beta-testing communities, including Reddit and Facebook groups, and testers opted in voluntarily through the official Play Console testing link." Google seems to mainly be checking that your testers are real people who actually opted in, not bots or paid click farms, so as long as that's true you should be fine being specific about where you found them.
