I appreciate that Strava lets us mask our home location, but I noticed today that prevents us from showing up in leaderboards. Why? The start of a popular climb is nearby my house - just barely in the zone - but the website says I’m way down the leaderboard because of a very old track (apparently before I configured my home area). But how does a segment near my home inform where I live? How is it different than any other segment? Could you ignore our home area for segments?

 

 

“How does a segment near my home inform where I live” - any attempt that counts for segment leaderboards must be public and visible, so if you hide the attempt by using the privacy zone, it won't count. If you want it to be included, you would need to shrink or remove the privacy zone, meaning that your activities start & end would clearly show your home location. 

​@heaths If your privacy zone isn’t too large you could go out of it before you go back and enter the segment. That way it will count for the leaderboard
