That could just be Google’s algorithm predicting what you would most likely search for.

Yeah I tried in incognito mode and lemmy didn’t even show up on the list

Yeah, it’s most likely caused by Google profiling OP and showing what it thinks OP wants to see.

Out of interest, I just entered “Reddit vs” into DuckDuckGo (which is a search engine that doesn’t profile its users, and it gets most of its search results from Bing). I got the following search suggestions:

  • reddit vs quora
  • reddit vs twitter
  • reddit vs discord
  • reddit vs anime
  • reddit vs facebook

I can’t believe that anime made the list but Lemmy didn’t lol
