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

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?

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”.

Yeah that's why I wonder if approaches like using channels on Farcaster is more effective. You can build a front end on top of Farcaster that further isolates the channel into more of a community. Gotta find users where they already are. Adding yet another platform gets overwhelming.

Or maybe it’s rather the case that the use cases and monetization of social media as we know them are focused on network effects, which make no sense in a local setting.

I think you nailed it with both these posts. I see Impact DAOs as the changing force here. But what's holding them back is a lack of tooling to coordinate ppl. But it solves the monetization and network effect issue. Just need the platform, like you started with. This is actually my focus on web3: DAO tooling.

Haha, thanks! You’re very kind 🙂. Yes, I also hope that DAOs take over and I’d love to contribute at some point! Will let you know, if I find something 🙂.

Have you been able to sign in or join the waitlist? I’m getting generic errors.

I didn't try yet but I'll message the founder, I saw him comment on CoLinks last night and it immediately made me think of this conversation!

Looks like they are in a transition. Maybe good time to get involved! Couple relevant links: https://x.com/MatanField/status/1722718792797519954?s=20 https://common.io/commons/1981c96e-5945-4a00-bb8c-97e1e6ab6f4b

Doesn’t look like there’s much happening there and I still can’t join 🙂.
