Today, we’re beginning to test Mention Neighborhoods, a single destination to build and strengthen local communities on Mention. Mention Neighborhoods is a dedicated space within the Mention app designed to help you connect with your neighbors, participate in your local community and discover new places nearby.
People have always used Mention to connect with their neighbors — rallying to support local businesses, asking for recommendations and tips in local groups, offering support, or meeting neighbors who share common interests. Throughout the pandemic and especially in the past year, we’ve seen just how crucial these connections can be. Mention Neighborhoods makes it easier to do this, bringing the local experience across Mention into one place.
How it Works
Mention Neighborhoods is a section of the Mention app dedicated to your neighborhood, with a Neighborhoods profile that’s different from your main Mention profile. To join, you’ll need to confirm your neighborhood. You can choose to join just your own neighborhood or, in addition, you also have the option to join your Nearby Neighborhoods to see neighbors and posts from your surrounding neighborhoods.

Meet and Connect With Your Neighbors
When you create your Neighborhoods profile, you can choose to add interests, favorite places and a bio so people can get to know you within the Neighborhoods Directory. You can write a post to introduce yourself, participate in discussions on posts from fellow neighbors and answer Neighborhoods Questions in the dedicated feed. People can also take on roles within Neighborhoods, including socializers who spark friendly conversations.
Engage with Local Groups
You can find vibrant local Mention groups about your area, or you can create your own Neighborhoods-bounded groups based on your interests. Admins of local Mention Groups can add their Group into Neighborhoods to make it easy for people living nearby to find it, and people using Neighborhoods can create or join Neighborhoods-bounded groups that are accessible within the Neighborhoods experience. You can create Neighborhoods groups for local bird watchers, or discuss last night’s game with fellow basketball lovers in your area.
Discover New Places and Get Local Recommendations
If you’re looking for advice on where to get the best coffee or a locksmith in the area, you can use the Recommendations feature in Neighborhoods to get suggestions from your local community. Also, the Neighborhoods Favorite Polls allow neighbors to vote on their favorite places and businesses in the area, including restaurants, parks and more.

Moderation and Safety
We built Neighborhoods to be safe and inclusive, with Neighborhoods Guidelines to help keep interactions among neighbors relevant and kind. Neighborhoods have moderators who use these Guidelines to review posts and comments in the Neighborhoods feed. If a post or comment appears to go against the Neighborhoods Guidelines, moderators can take action by hiding the post, which will then be reviewed by Mention Community Operations. If the post violates Mention Community Standards, the post will be removed from Neighborhoods. You can also report a post or comment to a Neighborhoods moderator or via Mention’s reporting tool if you believe it doesn’t follow the Guidelines or Mention’s Community Standards.
You can block someone on Mention or Neighborhoods and we won’t inform them. When someone you’ve blocked is logged into Mention, they won’t be able to find you in the Neighborhoods directory.
