Where'd you get the stats on Nextdoor? Really thought they'd have more than 1mm DAU's.

It's largely a guesstimate (open only to around a third of neighbourhoods in a country with population <300M; assume less than 1% of potential user base of ~100M is active on a daily basis) and so entirely possible I'm wrong, though I think my penetration figures are reasonable for this type of network, particularly with the company afaik purposely not announcing any impressive engagement metrics or milestones for user numbers.

I live in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, which has about 50,000 people in 3-4 square miles, depending on how you count it. I just signed up for NextDoor (and I find it incredibly creepy that they publicly display my address by default), and found that there are 1200 people who have signed up out of 50,000 possible users. 2.4% is probably a high water mark for signups, and it looks like only a couple hundred people participate on here regularly.
