How to successfully find a weather related community on Lemmy?

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨acrobaticpenguin23@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨[deleted]⁩

Am I doing something wrong? I search communities with key word weather and find no communities with over a few to maybe a dozen subscribers.

I want to ask for advice on a good Android weather widget. ‘Ask Android’ is a community I will place a question on but naturally the best place would be ‘Android Apps’ which is a ghost town and weather communities are also like ghost towns.

Are there communities out there that I’m not seeing somehow? Please help?!

I don’t want to use Reddit but may have to on some of these niche communities due to sparse activity.

  Which app is this? It finds a lot. Although 3k subscribers everywhere look a bit suspicious.

    I stopped using Jerboa because of search issues. Liftoff and Voyager (wefwef) are the best so far for my use.

    I also don’t get them on Jerboa. What instance are you on? I think that communities wont show up in your instance unless someone has already accessed them. If you search directly for the ones in the post above, they should show up. I think you have to put an exclamation mark in front of the term. E.g.
    !weather@community.xy
    
    Hope that works.

    Discovery on Lemmy is still in its infancy. Lots of friction. When you do a search for a community, you’re only searching your home instance, so if your home instance is never been subscribed or connected to those other communities they won’t be returned in your search. So that’s something that’s going to have to improve to make Lemmy more general user friendly

  !android@lemdro.id is the big Android one.

    It is but the mod does not allow questions there.

    That I can see, lol. Plus can’t ask my question in that community. I believe its against that communities rules. They direct those to AskAndroid.

weather & widget - weawow

I know you asked about a community to ask the question but I have an answer to that question. :)

  Thanks . Tried it out but the widget I Wowz ‘Current 2’ does not display the barometric reading when I place on home screen.
  
  Only displays two of 4 meausurements on that particular widget.
  
  The measurements I would like displayed on my weather widget are
  
  Barometric Pressure
  
  Relative Humidity
  
  Dew Point
  
  UV Index
  
  Air Quality
  
  Basic measurements like temp, wind speed, etc.
  
  Severe weather alert indicator
  
  Bonus would be precipitation chance percentage. When Ilookeed through WEOWOW options didn’t see one where I could customize to get my list of wants on one or twowidgets setup.
  
  I am willing to pay as in one time payment for this weather widget.

A lot of smaller communities are not really active, and we’re only created because one person wanted to create it. There is probably no need for 30000+ communities with 2 months of Lemmy popularity :)
