No not really. The server is a $15 month server. On the plus side it has no danger of being shut down. On the bad side its slower than some servers.
If you use voyager app its faster as it goes via the api. You can try that.

For a $15 a month server it's not bad, actually. I found it by trying to ping -6 a bunch of servers and this was one of the lower ones. Maybe the server isn't too far from north eastern US.
$ ping -6 lemmy.myserv.one
PING lemmy.myserv.one (2606:4700:3037::ac43:a55d) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2606:4700:3037::ac43:a55d: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=19.0 ms
There is a lot of caching and memory management to mask performance so things that are refreshed a lot are quicker than less used processes. I try my best but a unique search query will always be the slowest kind of thing you can do.
Nice, thanks for having me.
Pleasure. Give voyager a try. The programmer is really good (better than the lemmy devs) so its pretty optimised.
Ah, I'll keep that in mind. I'll give it a try if I need to do a search in mobile. I typically do the searching on Desktop, so I'll probably just have to wait a bit for the results, but I'm fine with that.
Problem I have seen is some lemmy servers spend a lot each month - eg 100-300 per month on hosting - and while obviously things are faster, when donations dry up then they get shut down. This is disruptive to users. This server is fully paid easily by me each month so this is not a danger. Is that better? Maybe, depends on your outlook. Stability vs performance. Maybe one day we will be big enough to upgrade. For now this is working.
That's totally understandable and pretty forward thinking, to be honest.
