Next door is a good way to communicate about some neighborhood items of interest. We also use it for our vacation home.
It's the best way to get recommendations from obscure companies someone might not think of and to hear from people who had great/good/bad experiences out there.
I mostly read what people write. Occasionally maybe give input where I can.
Generally, a good experience. I find that people do care what is going on in the area. Some maybe too much.:-)
I have been able to get advice about washer and stove repairs, sprinkler repairs etc. And it is nice to be able to try to sell something and not be charged for it.
I love to stay alert on neighborhood happenings. However, the log in has been troublesome. I use to have no issues... then suddenly every time I logged in it said I needed to "verify" my email (which had never changed) There was always a red bar at the top saying this. I would verify, etc.- go through the process and nothing changed. SO - it is a hassle, and I don't check it as often as I would like to due to his problem.
I am not very computer literate (older person), so I have not learned how
To really use the site. Need assistance on that. But have personally
Contacted people where pets are concerned whether lost, or needing a home,
Etc. (I run a dog rescue). Have found things to purchase, and some things were given to me! Good for information, contacts, and reaching out.
Overall, we all love Nextdoor. Some of our neighbors are challenged with technology, but we have held small group "training" sessions which was another opportunity for people to get together and connect. It's been great for service recommendations, buying and selling within our "neighborhoods" and posting communications and neighborhood breakfasts and luncheons. Support staff has been very responsive so far when we've needed help. Thank you!
On the whole, I really enjoy Nextdoor. I especially like it to stay on top of area crime, lost animals, and recommendations. I think it does draw the neighbors together. I have a bit of a concern that it is over monitored where things are taken down if even a little edgy. I realize there are things that don't need to be expressed, but give us a little more credit. But thanks for providing ND.
I find the nextdoor experience helpful but naturally some use it and abuse it. I don't want to know your political leanings or your skills. I want to know recommendations and activities in my neighborhood to expand my abilities to be more active.
I have used Next Door to send messages to my neighbors and keep up with is happening in my city by reading the posts of others. It has always been a positive experience
Duality. Some good posting & and lots of noise. Vital few & and the trivial many.
I think people can use guidance on how to compose a noteworthy post, benefiting the greater good.
I love the fact that you can get recommendations from people who actual experience the situation which is very helpful. To know about things going on in the neighborhood is also a plus. The only negative I fine is when some people think they know everything and start to pick every conversation apart.
Love the updates of what is going on around the area. I like being able to sell or give away items and connecting with my neighbors that I never meet.
I like having access to information about my neighborhood.
It seems to be especially helpful locating pets who get lost and found.
It was very helpful to get information about a proposed multi-family apartment complex that would have impacted our neighborhood very negatively with excess traffic and put a strain on the resources of our wonderful Bear Lake community.
I find Nextdoor to be useful for recommendations, finding lost pets, and finding out about local events.
I like hearing updates on the area or recommending new restaurants and services. Being able to post items for sale is also a nice service. I could do without the bickering between members on certain subjects. Not sure why I haven't received any notifications in months...
I have found nextdoor.com to be informative, creative and a way to connect with our town and neighborhoods that we didn't have before.
I was receiving the emails for over a year and then they just stopped. I have tried repeatedly to re join without success. So I would say it failed me previously enjoyed being involved.
Keeps neigbors "in the know". From lost pets to worthwhile contractors. It's a good thing! It's easy and informative and so far people "play nice" on it.
Answer: The negative reviews are honest reactions to being duped into sharing too much personal information (that Nextdoor now owns and will NEVER delete and will continue to sell to advertisers until your dying day) to join a site that seems friendly on the surface, but which does NOTHING to protect users. I was bullied by a convicted murderer, who is a Lead in my neighborhood--and I was banned from the site for complaining. Leads are nothing more than early adopters of the site who have been assigned power over other users so that Nextdoor does not have to police it's own site. In short: No. The negative reviews are not wrong. Heed them! I wish I had known before it was too late!
Answer: Forget about nextdoor and leads. Get a life, a real one. Don't waste your time with toxic online communities that tend to get the worst out of people. My advise is run away while you still have some dignity left.
Answer: Kay is right. That is their policy. However, don't expect them to hold to it. We have leads unfairly removing only some people's comments and Nextdoor does nothing about it. Best bet, dump nextdoor.
Answer: Neighborhood. Rocks is in development. Another 6 months.
Answer: Truth is like oil and water. As long as the scam artist have enough venture capital (other people's money) they will continue to shake the bottle leaving it a murky view obscuring the truth. Run out of cash, they'll be exposed for the incompetent boobs they are and the top dogs will clear out their bank accounts and move on to the next scam. One look at their "leading edge tech" pulled right out of the 1980's is proof enough they will die in the tar pits just like the fellow dinosaurs. Want a state of the art app?

Answer: Dallas, SiteJabber rates it at 16%. It would surely rate lower if there weren't so many fake positive reviews. Folks review Nextdoor either 1 or 5. The fives read like ads about Nextdoor's features and potential. The ones are written by real people and give accounts of how awful their experiences were.
Answer: Several other reviewers on this site have had the same thing happen to them. We have been fully banned from nextdoor (beyond just "suspension"), but they keep our profiles, and sometimes our names still appear in the neighbor registry. They refuse to remove us fully, I suppose, in an attempt to misrepresent our endorsement and participation there. It's clearly unethical, but their TOS states that they can do this, as any nd apologist will point out.
Answer: Here's a tidy answer from corporate... Hi Colleen, Thanks for getting back to me. Our Community Guidelines prohibit posting about Lead activity on the main newsfeed. If your Leads are inactivate and youre concerned about moderation in your neighborhood, you should reach out directly to Nextdoor Support. If you have any specific concerns I can help you with at this time, please let me know. Best, Amanda Nextdoor However, the minute you alert corporate to issues with leads in your community you'll find your account terminated. They are very protective of the information surrounding who really is controlling the activities on the boards. Most people in my community are under the misguided impression that corporate is in control. They don't even consider it is their neighbor who sits in judgement.
Answer: Nextdoor wants your full legal name, house number and address and your email address that they link all together. As an added bonus... They have a little map that you can click on. That way if, OMG, you offend someone the little map leads them straight to your house. Run, do not walk, away from this site. No good comes from Nextdoor.
Answer: Your name and address will be known to everyone who uses the NextDoor application and website. I don't suggest using it. I recently discovered that low income apartments in ghetto areas might be able to use the application to do crime. Car theft, asaaults, kidnapping and just about everything else under the sun.
When neighbors start talking, good things happen.
