Serious question: is this something that would be popular in the US? I could never see anyone in my neighbourhood using a private/local social network. Interested to hear from people who think this would be popular in their country.
- acomjean 12y agoIt is. My Girlfriend started a Nextdoor group. They use it for neighborhood stuff. They send postcards to people in your region asking for signups. Someone starting a local CSA was using it to organize. Oddly recently she's been getting requests to expand the neighborhood area as people just outside the edges seem to want to join.

- namenotrequired 12y agoI think so! I work for https://peerby.com https://peerby.com , which does something similar (but more narrow, only for borrowing things from neighbors), which started in the Netherlands but it's picking up rather quickly in the US now as well - I think we have many more members in the US now than in some countries where we tried much harder.
