Nextdoor may soon have something a little more serious to worry about than Best of Nextdoor, as Facebook is testing a Neighborhoods feature in Calgary, Alberta.

Social media consultant Matt Navarra shared screenshots via Twitter, and the social network confirmed the test, with a spokesperson saying, “More than ever, people are using Facebook to participate in their local communities. To help make it easier to do this, we are rolling out a limited test of Neighborhoods, a dedicated space within Facebook for people to connect with their neighbors.”
