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.

KISS launcher

Especially when pairing it with the Panels App

KISS has a small footprint is very fast and really makes my smartphone experience super efficient. I toggle minimalistic on, change search engine to Brave/DuckDuckGo, set my six most used apps as favorites which then show as icons at home screen bottom, assign tags to shortcuts such as favorite websites or tools such as compass, barometer, speed meter, distance calculator, etc.

You can have a tag category show up as a window from the bottom right settings menu.

Kiss also has a very effective search component. Literally the only scrolling needed will be doom scrolling on ones favorite social media app.

Widget functionality could be better but can be supplemented by said Panels app.

I have used hundreds of Android Apps since my first smartphone around 10 years ago and KISS is my most favorite of all (open source or regular) due to how its impacted how I use my phone.

Maybe some are waiting for Boost or other 3rd party apps but there will likely not be a super big number coming over. Apparently doom scrolling is preferred for a large swath of Gen Zers

Need to focus on improving these communities and being active/creative especially in building niche communities on Lemmy.

I see so many communities created with just a link or two posted weekly by community creator. That kind of activity gives Lemmy a bad look.

Swimming is much easier when learning at a young age.

With continually rising prices I've squeezed about everywhere that could be. Am looking to the community for help. Things like groceries, car service, haircuts, cleaning supplies . Thanks

That is an unbelievably stupid thing to say.

Yes it was. The red herring in the room is the Confederate Flag on the General Lee. But watching the show itself it was about helping out your family and your neighbors. Car chases, dealing with the corrupt and inept sherrif department of Hazard County and about GOOD country music.

No curse words and no excessive sexual innuendo like Two and a Half Men did. Nor was their racism although it was an all white main cast and there weren't many minority minor characters Sherriff Little comes to mind as one.

I believe they should still show the Dukes on Me-TV and other outlets but just present at beginning of the show a disclaimer about the Confederate Flag and note the reason for the valid condemnation from those who have personally been adversely affected by its history of being.

The cancel culture of Bud Light is wrong just as it is with the Black Listing of what is essentially a good family television show.

Maybe try to release a less inflammatory video concept next time. He is appealing to the Maga crowd but is turning off many others.

Eric Heiden 5 gold medals at just 21 years old. Retired shortly afterward to dabble in cycling and then become a mundane orthepedic surgeon.

Also Jerry Mather's aka 'The Beaver' still milking his long ago celebrity decades later.

I had read that some countries governments have access to app users shared data despite what it says under app details in Google Play Store.

I have some really good apps that I think I'll probably have to shed. Please advise. Thanks.

I have a decent video player XPlayer from InShot and I would like to add an app that can edit or even create a video from several fragments. Would spend up to $20 or $30 one time payment.

TIA

Wonder how much the Republican candidates will spend talking about catastrophic climate change? ๐Ÿ˜…

Awesome. Strength in numbers.

Well some people start communities but are not up to task. There should be a well developed rules/about community page. I have seen just create a community post links and do very little to build engagement.

People are gonna look and leave if a community has like 10 members a new thread with a few replies every two to three days and links.

When I get a little time I will be creating a community. Either way level of engagement will take time to build but lackadasial community creaters add to the build time.

Years ago I worked at an electronics store and have seen some very interesting products over the years with some being very useful.

Not sure how to do a poll on here but wanted to see how people matched on the ownership of some of these useful devices .

Have you ever owned a My (answers)

-PDA? Yes, I had a Palm IIIe

-DVD-Recorder? Yes. Successor to VCR sure didn't last long... ๐Ÿ˜–

-WebTV? No. Interactive TV in the days of dial-up. ๐Ÿ™‚

-3D Television? No

-Raspberry PI? No but I want to.

-Internet Radio Player? No This would be fun especially if it also had am/FM tuner

Looking to download an android app. Kind of like a digital replacement for those 2023-4 planners that one sees in Target.

I tried Flexcil but their planners don't seem formatted for a smartphone screen. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mod? (lemmy.world)

Who is mod of this forum and how to contact? What in the world is going on? Why were my posts deleted and no explanation.

Probably so. But then why are Android and Android Apps struggling for engagement? But more randoms, casuals, just a wider overall demographic will be needed for niche communities to become viable.

The communities I mainly communicated in on Reddit either don't exist, or have paltry engagement here.

This is why I am keeping my Reddit account active to make posts in these forums to invite others over here to build engagement.

I know what you mean within seconds my post would be downvoted. Its either a downvote bot or a rude moderator. Lemmy is a breath of fresh air.
