How to use different Nominatim on web openstreetmap (lemmy.ml)

I would like to use openstreetmap as replacement for google maps (on web) However default nominatim doesn't generally give correct address (when searched for POI). Is there way to change nominatim provider?

@rando

There are a variety of geocoders that use OpenStreetMap data.

Availability of address data varies by area.

but these are used by services right? (not full service itself). Am I misunderstanding?
