Hi!

I've been selfhosting Yacy for some years, even tho I rarely use it (I'm mostly using Kagi these days).

But some tips:

Set up something like this to your browser, this sends Yacy to crawl pages that you visit https://github.com/JeremyRand/YaCyIndexerGreasemonkey .
Get familiar with blacklists and try to find some public ones to filter out bad sites and adult content.
Tinker with Ranking & heuristics -> Solr boosts to get results that fit your use case more.
And in general, tinker with all the settings you can find!

And not directly Yacy related, but you can use your own Yacy through Searxng as well, even in 'private'(non P2P) mode.

I haven't used yacy in a whole, but i had configured it to auto import and index links from linkding. I also imported my browser history to get started.

Never tried the p2p option though so not sure how well that worked. I was worried about indexing private sites on accident .
