Just downloaded it hoping for some juicy gossip on who’s having affairs etc, it’s just people looking for their bushes to be tidied……. actually hold on a moment
Resist the pull of the poorly executed website!

Some people in our road tried to get everyone on a road Nextdoor- they went round knocking on doors after sending out a letter to try and drum up numbers. I politely refused as I can’t think of anything worse- like a local FB page but a personalised one for your road.
One of my neighbours keeps me informed of the gossip from it so I’m not completely missing out. So far we have had racist and sexist jokes in the vein of Roy Cubby Brown (thankfully that bloke got banned), people getting far too militant with parking (on the public highway- not blocking drives or anything), someone shaming people for not weeding the gutters outside their home with the incriminating pictures (the public highway again- not residents responsibly) and snippy comments about non-attendees including listing names and house number for that embarrassing farce that was ‘clap for the NHS’ during covid.
I use the app. But purely because our cat is missing (has been since October 30th) it has potential to be a very good app. But all it is is people complaining about other neighbours or people literally asking for a £5k job for free.
Do not go on nextdoor. It is literally the worst of all. Boomers with zero filter hacking at each other and the world. It is pathetic
I got trapped once.. But managed to escape.
“Hi guys, some complete lunatic has posted a passive aggressive and vaguely threatening message through my letterbox. Who would be willing to form a hunting party to catch these people and run them out of town?”
They print your address next to your name…in posts
I joined….
And goodness me! The slightly racist old ladies.
‘We saw a man walking down the street. He isn’t local. Just so you know’
It’s a public street
‘He looks like he is looking in windows’
That is concerning.
Look out, every time to see the artist who moved into a house at the top of the street, going about his business.
Only distinguishing feature. His colour.
Also. Would you like some MLM catalogue products promoted with the word hunny and lots of emojis?
It’s a cesspool.
Nextdoor is like Facebook but more extreme.
I joined mine purely from anthropological curiosity, to study them in their natural habitat without interaction.
800 posts? How are people managing to keep up with this?
My favourite post was some old biddy who found a dead bird while out walking their dog, and wanted to know what to do…
It’s just a really shit version of the neighbourhood watch alliance, isn’t it?
The flyer we got fitted the bottom of the budgie cage nicely. 🙂
It’s terrifying that I live six thousand miles away from you but got precisely the same thing stuffed through my mail box today, but obviously with my street on it, not yours.
There’s an interesting contrast between our neighbourhood Nextdoor which is slightly unhinged at times and our street WhatsApp which usually is ok, with people being supportive, friendly. Maybe we’re just lucky with the latter.
Be careful the next door app. It’s got serious privacy concerns.
I was on now I’m off. Nothing lost
Nextdoor is awful, but I’ve just moved to a different city and cannot work out how to find out about things going on in my area. I don’t have any social media, so where am I supposed to find out about my neighborhood?
I always checked the local nextdoor and Facebook groups when moving house.
You can read between the lines a little bit, if there’s 500 posts about all night parties there’s probably some antisocial people on the road.
Found out one house with ‘far reaching views’ had just had the land behind bought up by a developer. Estate agent seemed to have forgotten to mention that.
Might be a great way to find local swingers, maybe even… a unicorn.
Wild, we just had the same letter the other day, verbatim – different area though. Wonder if these are actually being generated and given out by Nextdoor posing as neighbours…
I had the same letter last week, straight in the bin, wonder if it’s a scam
