Is there a way to decrease the depth of computer analysis on lichess to, let´s say, six moves?

Hi, everyone, what a great site this is. Is there a way to decrease the depth of computer analysis on lichess to, let´s say, six moves? Thanks.
Not on Lichess that I know of. Maybe you could using the open source code of Stockfish?
I doubt there is, but why would you want a bad depth? So that you won't get the best move?
That's an excellent question. The goal is to stop St to find tactical options. I think it's not possible except if you download a software with sf engine in it
Thanks for your answers. The reason I asked is that to low level players like me is probably not so useful a depth so high that I couldn´t grasp the reason why the move suggested is the better one. I think a depth of 4 to 6 moves would be more helpful to improve my game as it would be closer to what I myself can analyse right now, just 2 to 4 moves more than I can reach in my mind. Because, let´s face it, at my level (and my oponents´ level) the game will be decided for some tactical issue involving very few moves ahead, not for some strategic grand master vision 15 or 20 moves ahead. What do you think about it?
imo u i would never run with lower depth. the reason is simple: why would u win a war with less weapon power ; )
I get your logic. In some ways computer analysis is hard to understand - I often find myself wondering why a computer says a move is a mistake when nothing appears to be wrong, and high level players do that too. I think it's best to use computer analysis for huge swings in play that mean you missed something tactically or really bad strategically that hopefully you can understand, and for everything else to use human analysis.
