Hello! Since I’m unable to find a public searxng instance that could work for more than a week and sadly cannot selfhost one, I’m looking for a replacement. I so found Swisscows, that promise to be privacy respecting, but here on lemmy didn’t find any opinion on it. Do any of you use it? Why or why not?
I’m also considering Qwant and Mojeek.
Try one of the Whoogle public instances. Maybe it will be stable experience for you 🙂
Thanks for the tip, I’ll try it out!
I didn’t like the rate limits on public instances and I am self hosting my own for me and my family. But maybe everything will be fine for you :)
I self host Whoogle and it’s a really nice interface. However, recently is has started to take longer and longer to load, sometimes giving up and returning a 502 error. If you don’t run into that however, it’s super nice!
Perhaps there is a problem with the server hoster? Or configuration problems? What I really miss are site icons next to the URL. The search speed drops due to their absence. I hope they add it in the future.
