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.
any of these?
ed. or for the weather
Which app is this? It finds a lot. Although 3k subscribers everywhere look a bit suspicious.
Memmy, iOS
Dang, When I search using Jerboa app I am not seeing any of the ones in your screenshots 🙁
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.
[email protected]Hope that works.
I am subscribed to Lemmy.world instance and I still don’t have [email protected] show in search results.
Looks like different Lemmy App is in order.
You could post a bug on the Jerboa community. It might be known and have a fix out soon. I think most apps have their own quirks. Either way, let me know if you have any success.
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
[email protected] 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.
The Android community at Lemmy.world welcomes questions of all sorts.
weather & widget - weawow
I know you asked about a community to ask the question but I would like to recommend you this app.
4.9 stars on 539k reviews and 5m+ downloads.
Ooo thanky
try the degoogle or privacy communities and ask for an open source meteo app or widget
answers would probably be
- omWeather (Weather and rain radar for any location - worldwide) - https://f-droid.org/app/org.woheller69.omweather https://github.com/woheller69/omweather
- Breezy Weather (A powerful, open-source Material Design weather app.) - https://f-droid.org/app/org.breezyweather https://github.com/breezy-weather/breezy-weather
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 :)
