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.

The problem is why is reddit at the top it's not lemmy which is lemmies competitor

But the thread is discussing the thing you searched for.

but its reddit

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.

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.
