Most neighbors post good information on Nextdoor. But possibly some neighbors will post messages that you do not agree with, or messages that contain incorrect information. If you do not want to see messages from a specified neighbor, Nextdoor lets you “mute” (turn off messages from) that neighbor.
Note
The neighbor will not know that you muted him or her.
If you mute a neighbor:
You will not see messages posted by that neighbor on the Nextdoor website.
You will see the message
This comment has been mutedon the website if that neighbor replies to a message.You will not receive emails from Nextdoor when that neighbor posts or replies to messages.
You will receive private messages that the neighbor sends to you.
You will receive urgent alerts sent by that neighbor, to make sure that you know about emergencies.
To mute a neighbor:
Look at the neighbor's profile page:
If the neighbor posted a public message, you can click the neighbor's name or photo on that public message.
Note
You will see the neighbor's name below the subject (description) of the message. If the neighbor has a profile photo, you will see their photo to the left of the message's subject. If the neighbor does not have a profile photo, you will see a standard picture of a “female” or “male” head.
You can use the “Neighbors” page to find a neighbor in your neighborhood.
To see the “Neighbors” page, click the Neighbors link at the left side of the home page.
Scroll down the page until you see the neighbor you want to send a message to.
Click the neighbor's name or photo.
