What are Android's Best Weather Apps?

Ever since I started using smart phones, I have been jumping between different weather apps and have not been very satisfied with most of them.

If I self host a Lemmy instance for just myself and maybe a few friends are there any risks?

/kbin server update - or how the server didn't blow up

Currently, on the main instance, people have created 40191 accounts (+214 marked as deleted). I don't know how many are active because I don't monitor it, but once again, I greet all of you here :) In recent days, the traffic on the website has been overwhelming. It's definitely too much for the basic docker-compose setup,...
