I moved to Nextdoor after Streetlife closed and it's just not the same. The conversations are boring and scarce. I also don't like the fact it displays which street you live on. I live on a short street, it has 4 houses on it. Pretty easy for someone to figure out where I live even after taking my house no. Off. That limits what I can/can't post and I'm not keen on that at all - I don't trust people who I don't know and they shouldn't know where I live.
For anyone looking for a replacement for Streetlife in the UK try Scooploop! It doesn't compromise your privacy in the way Nextdoor does and it's easier to use than the other alternatives I've tried. It only asks you for your postcode and doesn't display that or your full name to anyone which I like. It's run by people in the UK, it's based in London I think. You don't need to faff about adding your own location in either 'cause it does that automatically. I think it'll be the best alternative.
It claims to be a site for local people but the location range is huge. I know you can narrow it down but it doesn't stop other people from up to 25miles away from you reading and commenting on your post. It isn't local at all. Not many of the posts are regarding local issues either, it is actually more of a forum for people to discuss whatever pops into their head. I know the site is new but I'm quite disappointed - not what it claims to be.
“Of the same opinion, Kevin and Sterling Jackson should have got this family business working properly in their own back (USA) yard before imposing this junk site on UK.”

Sorry to hear that you were disappointed. The distance options are meant to give people control over what area they see based on what they feel is 'local' to them as some areas are denser and some are more spread out.
We have many categories and are constantly refining our approach to help people see what they're interested in whether it's strictly local issues or they are interested in general banter with people nearby.
Here's what our home page says. I feel that it accurately encompasses what we are doing but I'd love to hear suggestions if you feel that it needs more clarity!
"Kahuti is about discovering what's happening near where you live or work, not just in your neighborhood but your surrounding community. Everything you'll see on Kahuti is based on location. You can choose the distance (between 1 and 25 miles) where you want to see alerts, events, conversations, deals and more in that area and if you're working, traveling or planning a trip, Kahuti can instantly switch to another location to see what's happening there."
