Weather has always significantly influenced my life. When I was a young athlete, knowing the forecast in advance would have allowed me to better plan my training sessions. As I grew older, I could choose whether to go to school on my motorcycle or, for safety reasons, have my grandfather drive me. And it was him, my grandfather, who was my go-to meteorologist. He followed all weather patterns and forecasts, a remnant of his childhood in the countryside and his life on the move. It’s to him that I dedicate FediMeteo.

The idea for FediMeteo started almost by chance while I was checking the holiday weather forecast to plan an outing. Suddenly, I thought how nice it would be to receive regular weather updates for my city directly in my timeline. After reflecting for a few minutes, I registered a domain and started planning.

What a cool project. Sadly it doesn't seem to work with Lemmy, because we cannot follow users. If I look at e.g. @london@uk.fedimeteo.com I can see the user but no posts.

Yeah, following people on Lemmy is not really doable but I definitely see content when I go to:

Is there a way to turn an rss into a community feed?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

There are various bots that do this.

Im seeing the same thing on piefed. Looks to be a snac implementation, which is very minimal.

I love this! Thank you so much for initiating this program. I've set it up on NetNewsWire for the locations I'm interested in, and it appears to work properly. Yay for when things just work!

Thank you so much for initiating this program.

I'm not the creator - full credit goes to Stefano Marinelli.

Okee doke, thank you for bringing it to my attention. :-D

So if you use this and have a public follows list then someone can look at the accounts you follow and find out where you live.

Is that a smart idea?
