"Searching on Mojeek is a truly unique and independent experience - their search results are unique and totally independent from Bing and Google. In fact, Mojeek is probably the oldest and biggest direct rival to the Big Tech search engines. Mojeek's web crawler, MojeekBot, crawls the web to create Mojeek's search index regularly."

thanks a lot, we're aware of issues when it comes to ranking homepages as the top result returned in the cluster (Mojeek is 1 result/site unless you change clustering in Preferences).
I've raised this as an example of that - something we're working on.
