I actually like using Nextdoor for things like neighborhood updates, lost pet alerts, and finding local services (got a great plumber recommendation there once!). But lately, the drama and random rants are getting a little out of hand — and it’s hard to find just the useful stuff.
Are there any apps like Nextdoor that still focus on local tips, community help, and maybe even buy/sell — without all the noise?
It's more news-focused than social interaction. Think of it as a news platform that has hyperlocal news and event coverage. You can follow your town/city and get updates about crime, politics, school closures, etc.
