    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.

    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.
