“Kahuti is the best option as a replacement for Streetlife”

written by TerrySreally on 11/03/2017

The developers are very responsive and are working hard to improve Kahuti in line with feedback from users. There is no requirement to enter a full name and Kahuti will accept pseudonyms and a general location, so the privacy concerns with Nextdoor do not arise and there is no pressure from the site.

There are no Community Leaders so any conversations are open and uncensored. Everyone has been respectful in my community, so it hasn’t been a problem. Areas viewed can be customised and easily changed between 1 and 25 miles and different areas can be viewed. Users are not bombarded with e-mails every time there is a post; there is the option of a daily summary (requested by users) and that’s it. Users are not constantly badgered by the site to recruit neighbours. Free business listings are encouraged as are recommendations for reliable tradesmen.

Kahuti is being developed rapidly and has the potential to be even better than Streetlife. It has been warmly received, but needs more active users although numbers are increasing daily and Kahuti communities are starting to spring up all over the country.

Kahuti appears to be the most suitable and popular of the replacements for Streetlife. The speed of development and response times show the founders are fully engaged with the site and they are now talking about mail shots to increase the number of users. This appears to be a serious site with the intention of remaining for the long term. I use Kahuti daily and look forward to it growing.

If you were on Streetlife and are looking for an alternative to Nextdoor, this looks like the best option. If not, it is still worth having a look.
