this is a example search for example when i search [Something] lemmy it will show the reddit link even tho its not reddit releated Update: Finally its the second result lol am prob gonna delete this due to some drama… yeah hello from mastodon or whatever
Google paid good money to index Reddit, so OFC they’re going to put their thumb on the scale when sorting the results.
Yep. Here is what I get in duckduckgo:

Google paid money to make other engines stop indexing reddit.
That’s just another reminder to stop using Google
I’ve just accepted the tons of Brave downvotes at this point. At least 80% of it’s profit doesn’t come from having Google as the default search engine 🙂
brave and startpage aint even that bad duckduckgo is bing bro
Fr fr duckduck got no rizz blud I dunno do you require punctuation?
Really complaining about punctuation on that short of a comment that’s totally legible without it? I envy your free time.
That’s honestly way worse because OP asked a subjective question and they likely want subjective answers and actual opinions, and not a list of all the apps.
Better than Google
I’ve been using Kagi for a while now and I love it. I actually get useful search results. Yeah, it’s paid, but it’s sooo worth it.
Here’s what your query looks like in Kagi:
Also, there is great info at lemmyapps.com and the Lemmy Apps Directory.

It’s worth “comparison shopping” with search engines. Run some common queries on multiple engines and see which ones fit what you like. Google takes up a lot of the mindshare for sure, but there are absolutely other options that will probably surprise you with how good they are.
Voyager best btw
the search result was a example so yeah not looking for clients rn
Google made a deal with Reddit so they artificially push their results to the top. I don’t even know if Google indexes any of the fediverse sites. The mere fact that the fediverse is fragmented probably means hits are spread across sites, lowering the results in the rankings (ten sites with one customer click thru vs one site with ten customer click thrus).
They don’t
they index lemmy.world the most
Bye bye google, hello duckduckgo or SearXNG.
Google pays reddit to show their results in priority.
ik
Use a better search engine?
Like what yahoo?
I don’t see the problem with this search result. You searched for Lemmy clients and the first link gives a list of Lemmy clients for Android. It happens to be on Reddit but it does match your search.
it does match my search but its reddit and lemmy’s biggest competitor is reddit (the best i can describe it)
Google doesn’t have any reason to think you care about competition based on your query. You asked for a specific bit of information and it showed you websites with that information.
If you want a result from a specific website, you need to specify that in your search query. Otherwise, stop complaining about getting the answer you were looking for.
The problem is why is reddit at the top it’s not lemmy which is lemmies competitor
Because Lemmy hasn’t made it to the top yet. Be patient
On DDG it is, fwiw
But the thread is discussing the thing you searched for.
but its reddit
I get it, hate Reddit more than most. I hope they pull a Digg and become irrelevant.
The problem is that google is invested in Reddit. Of course Reddit is coming up first. We know google is evil and they only care about profits.

Who fucking cares, dude? The thread was about Lemmy clients. That is still a very relevant result to your question. If the first result was a thread on Steam’s forums I wouldn’t care either as long as it’s a good thread relevant to your question.
You are using Google which only prioritizes companies they have deals with.
Don’t use Google if you want real answers
Give kagi a try. Downranking websites is a fantastic feature
Paid :(
You can try it for free.
so its like a paid and free option??
There is a free trial then its paid. Try it and see it works for you
That’s exactly what I did. The results were so much better, so I paid for a plan. Kagi and Proton were huge for my degoogling that I have been working on.
Same, i upgraded to pro because i use it almost exlusivly now. Ai summaries are also pretty good for a quick overview. Well worth the money.
I dont use the AI a whole lot in the normal day to day, but it has been downright amazing for working on poweshell scripts. Helped me fix a script I was trying to make multithreaded lol
oh
Hate w̶h̶e̶n̶ t̶h̶e̶ Reddit l̶i̶n̶k̶s̶ s̶h̶o̶w̶s̶ u̶p̶ f̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ e̶v̶e̶n̶ t̶h̶o̶ i̶t̶s̶ r̶e̶l̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ t̶o̶ l̶e̶m̶m̶y̶ n̶o̶t̶ r̶e̶d̶d̶i̶t̶
Fr reddit sucks it’s soo toxic
When I searched Lemmy Clients first result was a Wiki page, second was the actual join lemmy page, and the third being a Lemmy you should know post about clients
Because I need more links here’s another one with client directory from the lemmy post and this one is me keyboard mashing
