Does anybody know a social network with focus on enabling small(-ish, as in thousands not millions), local communities, around a particular shared interest?

For example: students of a given subject in a country, alumni from a given school, frequent visitors of a given space.

And all that without putting everybody in one huge shared space for majority of the time.

Not sure, if it would have to have gating. Maybe marketing + UX focused on communities focused on local problems/initiatives would suffice.

We had products like this in central/Eastern Europe but they were swallowed by fb, lack of scalable business model and the narrative that “it doesn’t make sense to make local products in the internet”.

I haven’t used Nextdoor, though. Maybe I need to try 🙂.

Hmmm, interesting requirements. A shared platform with no, or minimal, global space that has custom gating that specifies around locality?

Like Nextdoor with sub-channels and no public feed?
