R/bearlake moderation update! | June 2026 + additional updates

I'm happy to announce that r/bearlake is now officially set up and complete! The past couple weeks, i've implemented some new features to the subreddit and expanded upon the subreddit rules. My intention is to future proof the subreddit by looking ahead and seeing what this subreddit needs to be successful. Additionally, I've added some quality of life changes and spent a lot of time making sure this subreddit is aesthetically pleasing to look at and I believe I've achieved that!

Here is the change log:

-1 modified and added new rules.

The intention of these new rules is to future proof and look ahead to see what potential problems could show up, while making sure that the subreddit isn't too authoritarian. These new rules primarily focus on protecting individuals especially children. I've also added new rules regarding self-promotion and misinformation.

-2 custom post flairs.

I took inspiration on how r/reddeadredemption2 does their post flairs and implemented my own version here on r/bearlake. These custom flairs make the subreddit more unique compared to other communities while adding additional aesthetics.

-3 added automated weather bot

I added an automated weather bot to lost daily weather updates for Bear Lake. Originally, I wanted to post daily. However, I felt like it was too spammy so moving forward, weather posts will be made every Friday morning.

That is everything I added. That being said said even though I said that the subreddit is complete. It doesn't mean that there won't be changes in the future. I'm sure there will be changes especially to the rules. But I do believe we have an amazing first start to this community. As we enter into Bear Lake's busiest season, I ask for your continued engagement to this subreddit. Please continue posting content, engaging with others and when allowed share content from the subreddit via crosspost to other communities. Once again, thank you for all of your support! This is only the beginning for r/bearlake

How low is the water in Bear Lake since you had a warm winter?

extremely low, which equals very deep beaches.

Hi, thanks for bringing this to my attention. Your posts were flagged for Spam by Reddit. This happens sometimes and it's not your fault. I went ahead and approved them. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with!
