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?

I update through streetcomplete, and I generally don't see information updated soon. However

how do I do this on web? For e.g. if I search golden gate and it's not correct result, I may not know exact coordinates/address of the poi.
How do I work with map if i'm working with unknown (to me) poi?
