Sometimes it says lightning went off right next to me and I hear or see nothing.

If they're using RF to detect strikes, it's possible to get a false positive from a strong, local interference. But you'd think a persistent signal like that would show constant lightning at your location.

The site they pull their data from appears to show the detector stations used to triangulate a strike. The more and distant ones that detect lightning at your location, the likelier it is that it actually happened.

Well the biggest problem is the detector stations can also detect stuff like cloud-to-cloud lightning miles up that nobody will hear, and upper-atmospheric lightning that is basically balls of plasma almost in space

Is there a radar that just tracks lightning that strikes the ground then?

Weather radar tracks precipitation, which is sometimes but not always a precursor of lightning.
