So, I looked into this. This is the page it's getting that from:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37145312
It looks like a forum post where somebody showed their inaccurate ChatGPT results got boosted to the top of Google's ranking somehow. I think this is more of an issue with YCombinator's SEO abuse than anything. There's a reply from just 1 day ago on that forum post that says:
I just searched "country in africa that starts with k" and it used your comment as a snippet answer
EDIT: I also sent feedback on that result. I suggest others do the same if you see it. Only way these things get fixed is if they're reported to the people who can fix them.
The closest is Kenya, which start with K sound, but is actually spelled with a K sound
What drug are they on???
ChatGPT.
Also Motorhead lemmy deserves higher Google ratings than we do. He is a beast.
Lemmy Kilmister is the one true Lemmy and the one true god.
It pains me to see that most open source projects suck boulders at both branding and basic SEO
Lemmy does show up though, you're just expecting a niche site to show up where reddit is. Also Lemmy is not some "rock and roll and motorcycle guy" he's fucking Lemmy and he's a legend.
