I was excited for a backcountry sub but I see it’s just for winter skiing and snowboarding. That name is kind of confusing. I was hoping it was for backcountry camping and hiking like on Reddit.

Which sub were you thinking about specifically out of curiosity?

I created it to replace the /r/backcountry subreddit which was also skiing and snowborading. Perhaps it makes sense to broaden the scope a bit since the lemmy community is small. I could reasonably moderate hiking and camping stuff as well.

I will make a post over there asking people what they are interested in.

Oh, Maybe I was thinking more of r/wildernessbackpacking, r/campingandhiking, or r/hikingcanada type subs. When I say I’m going to the backcountry I mean hiking and camping, but I also don’t live near mountains so it’s probably more regional to me. Maybe that’s why I never subscribed to r/backcountry, it’s just been so long since I joined a bunch of subs I can’t remember. I think it would be good to have a separate summer vs winter community.

I think it would be good to have a separate summer vs winter community.

Possibly, I don't really know. My other thought is that the back country skiing subreddit was always kinda small and with the smaller number of people on Lemmy, its probably even smaller.

Its hard to get communities going initially so if broadening the topic helps, I'm for it.
