Lead users, or “leads,” are Nextdoor members who help the website operate correctly. The person who starts a neighborhood's Nextdoor website becomes that neighborhood's “Founding Member,” and is automatically made a lead. Nextdoor members who invite many other neighbors to join a new Nextdoor will possibly be made leads automatically . And a lead can manually make a Nextdoor member into a lead.
When there is more than one lead in a neighborhood, it is best if leads speak to each other regularly. The website operates most smoothly when leads agree on standards and procedures.
Leads have a special setting on the “Settings” page. They can click the Notify me when new unverified neighbors join or existing neighbors deactivate their account box to have Nextdoor send them an email when there are unverified neighbors or neighbors delete their Nextdoor accounts.
Leads can remove messages that are inappropriate for your neighborhood.
Leads also have a special menu that lets them:
view and post messages in the national Leads Forum.
view a list of messages flagged by Nextdoor members due to possibly inappropriate material. These messages need to be read and possibly deleted.
change the “About” information at at https://nextdoor.com/neighborhood_feed/about/.
change the “Resources” information in the “Crime & Safety” category.
make a Nextdoor member a new lead.
adjust the boundary of your neighborhood's Nextdoor site.
Leads are automatically made members of the private “Nearby Leads” group, which lets leads from Nearby Neighborhoods share information with each other.
