It’s a short lived feature I loved having on Apollo as it made you feel more connected with the community you were lurking on as it would enable you to know the current weather conditions of the communities based on places.

Cozy feature indeed, although Apple’s API is $50/month after the first 500k calls, so…🤔
Instead of a weather api, it would be better to allow communities to specify locations (stored as coordinates probably?) to allow third party apps to do what they would like with it (like display the weather)
Either that or make a standardized way to put location information in the community description and then convince a third party app to support it
I used Apollo for years and have no idea WTF you’re asking for.
It was a feature introduced in the Apollo IOS 16 update that utilized the weather kit api to display weather status from city subreddits.
Here’s an excerpt from Christian Stelig’s notes:
Weather (Yeah!)
Yeah that’s right, that vegetable app isn’t the only one that can do weather! If “Subreddit Weather” is enabled in Apollo, if you navigate to a city’s subreddit (like r/Toronto, r/Perth, r/London, r/Denver, r/SaoPaulo, etc.) at the top of the subreddit Apollo will now show you that city’s weather, as well as the current time at that location. It’s pretty cool, when visiting some subreddits I feel more in tune with what’s going on there now. This uses Apple’s new, really cool WeatherKit framework.
