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.

        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.

          I am subscribed to Lemmy.world instance and I still don’t have weather@lemmy.world 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.

    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.

      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

      1. Barometric Pressure
      2. Relative Humidity
      3. Dew Point
      4. UV Index
      5. Air Quality
      6. Basic measurements like temp, wind speed, etc.
      7. 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.

    try the degoogle or privacy communities and ask for an open source meteo app or widget

    answers would probably be
