1️⃣ Is it a configuration option on #Snac or is any instance using #Snac federating this way? Will it stop, when no one is following any account?

hhmx.de is my single account instance, that i use do develop my own #Fediverse server named #Mammuthus.

At least i noticed an issue, as the #Fedimeteo posts shows up as public (and not unlisted). Fixed now.

But as unlisted posts are used users can just find #Fedimeteo accounts by searching for accounts, right? Not sure, how visible this is... :-)

2️⃣ My approach is currently "what's the weather now, and soon, the next hours?" and just then "the next days"... maybe a poll would be a good idea?

Thanks for your reply.

It's amazing how much energy has been injected into the FediMeteo project by @stefano
I've just surfed to the page and saw this enormous amount of Cities which are now covered

Two Thousand nine hundred and eight cities!

Yes you've read that right 2908 cities.

In order to get a city up and running in the system there's a significant amount of code that Stefano needs to add to the system. He has of course written everything in a modular and scalable manner, but that does not make the work any less.

We should all be thankful for this work that is done so that people from thousands and thousands of cities can see their weather right in the FediVerse.

If your city has not been covered yet, just be patient, like me. Realize how much work Stefano does in his free time in an OpenSource manner.

The graphic includes a series of colored icons representing different weather conditions: a sun, a cloud with rain, a cloud with snow, and a warning symbol resembling a hurricane or storm. Below the icons, there's text stating "FediMeteo" and "Get started today!". There's also a call to action: "Visit our website to find your city". The text continues with "Get forecasts for 208 cities across 38 countries, delivered right to your timeline". It includes a reminder to "Follow your city's account." Finally, it offers a way to "Enjoy weather updates." There's a website address listed: "https://fedimeteo.com".

Deutsche Freunde des #Fediverse
In diesen Tagen mit unsicherem Wetter könnte es nützlich sein, Wettervorhersagen direkt in eurer Timeline zu erhalten! 🌦️

#FediMeteo (https://fedimeteo.com) ist ein Projekt, das Daten von #OpenMeteo verarbeitet und sie land- und stadtweise im Fediverse, auf der Webseite der jeweiligen Stadt und über RSS veröffentlicht.

Alle 6 Stunden aktualisiert und veröffentlicht ein freundlicher Bot die Wetterdaten.

Wie funktioniert es?
➡️ Folgt der Seite eurer Stadt im Fediverse.
➡️ Wenn ihr noch keine Vorhersagen seht, folgt ihr wahrscheinlich noch niemand.
➡️ Beginnt, ihr zu folgen, und beim nächsten Zyklus erhaltet ihr die Updates!
🔗 Im Folgenden der Link für Deutschland und die Liste der derzeit unterstützten Städte.
🌍 Dezentralisierte, Open-Source-Wettervorhersage im Fediverse! 🌱

Shoutout to #FediMeteo @admin and @stefano for the #RSS and #ActivityPub #federated #weather service. Finally, a reliable weather tool across platforms.

A week or so ago I reached out and they added my community. Every time the new weather report post or RSS feed comes through, I appreciate it so much.

Thanks again! #WX #Fediverse

The more technical self-hosters out there may be interested in this blog post about how @stefano created a global Fediverse weather service using a €4 VPS:

Some technical details for those interested:
The entire FediMeteo setup runs on a FreeBSD VM costing around 4 euros per month. It supports almost all major EU countries (plus the UK), with just a few left to complete. Currently, there are 25 separate jails, each running its own instance of snac, totaling 25 instances. The VM load typically stays around 10%, which increases to 30% when updates are published for countries with larger numbers of cities (currently Germany and Italy). The only time the load spikes is when new countries are announced; during that time, all remote instances connect to all cities to download their details.
As for RAM usage, excluding the ZFS cache, it's currently a total of 213 MB. Yes, MB.
