Facebook Is Now Trying To Help Connect You With Neighbors

Facebook, apart from improving its existing apps and bringing high-speed internet to rural areas, has started testing a new community-focused feature to bring neighbors together. The feature, dubbed as Neighborhoods, will bring local posts, groups, and marketplace items on the users’ feed to help them connect with people who live near them.

Facebook is taking on NextDoor with a NEW ‘Neighborhoods’ feature! 🏘🏡

Now, Facebook is not the first one to introduce this feature in the market. Community-focused social media app, NextDoor has had this feature for a long time. However, as Facebook has a massive userbase, I think that this feature can help connect a lot more users than NextDoor, which has close to 27 million users in total.
