@abucci@anthony.buc.ci @movq@www.uninformativ.de Pinterest is amazing! In fact, I’ve replaced FB, Reddit, and Google Photos with it.

It has its own problems, but my main use case is discovering related images. For instance, memes and funny pictures for my wife, visual ideas for work, or even random comics and photos just for the sake of it. It autodetects language, so it’ll mostly suggest content in languages you already know, and it has few ads.
Also allows you to store your own content public or privately, so I use it to save or pin my own content instead of putting it on a shared Drive Presentation, or a random chat.
I don’t use it that much to save websites, but I see a lot of people doing that.

Finally, I don’t know if a Self-hosted Pinterest is useful for me. To manage my own content I’d look for a Google Photos replacement, and I’ll miss the discoverability from other authors.

@eaplmx@twtxt.net Even though I don’t use Pinterest and never “got it”, I do see some value in its “features”. Speaking of which… I believe @darch@neotxt.dk @hashrock@twtxt.net and I think even my dad @off_grid_living@twtxt.net would want and benefit some some kind of visual sharing UX on Yarn… I would fully support this (somehow), question is how… I’ve always thought we would just surface “media” as search results, but @hashrock@twtxt.net seems to think we can also have a “portfolio” profile view of some kind… Maybe some combination of both? I dunno 🤷‍♂️
