How to successfully find a weather related community on Lemmy? - Lemmy.world

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.

Dang, When I search using Jerboa app I am not seeing any of the ones in your screenshots 🙁

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 another 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.

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