Initially I thought Nextdoor is a great idea. A place where you can get to know your neighbors, ask for recommendations for local labor, discover new restaurants that opened in town, etc. Like everyone already mentioned, the noise ratio made it hard to use and I quickly didn't bother to log in and canceled all notifications.
Also, my town and all nearby towns have FB groups. It's not at a neighborhood level like in Nextdoor but most towns are not that big that it matters much. I'm not big on those groups either, but I'm assuming with good group moderators you can get the same or even greater value. In that sense Nextdoor is just a feature...
- MivLives 6y agoI used to live on a street that had our own Facebook group. It was all things like "They're inspecting trash cans on the sidewalk again, I threw all your trash cans up on your porches to avoid the fine" and "Tim's backyard bike shop is open again, stop by with a six pack for a tune up" I miss that street.
