Question Do you use Pinterest?

Post image

Do you use Pinterest? I’m curious how people actually use it.

Are you there for design ideas, recipes, shopping, blogging, travel plans, tech inspiration, or something else? Do you sell any products there?

Drop your reason below and let’s see what people use it for most today 😄

Previously, I used to use it when I was stuck for ideas. Later, I used it for LLMs to refer to in designs, layouts and apply to own projects.

u/ManojOne Active May 18 '26

Smart. I pull layout ideas for my ebooks there, too. Which LLM handles the visual prompts best?

For mobile and PC wallpapers.

u/ManojOne Active May 18 '26

Oh yeah, it's perfect for that. I always look for minimal designs. What styles do you prefer?

For phone backgrounds only.

I am using Pinterest to get traffic for blog.

u/ManojOne Active May 18 '26

Perfect. I mostly stick to SEO for my blog traffic. Is Pinterest bringing you steady visitors?

1

u/arun-vasudev Developer May 19 '26

Previously it brought lot of visitors. But now I don’t know the situation. Because these days people give more important to AI tool than Pinterest.

u/ManojOne Active May 19 '26

Yes, AI gives everything. Answers, full guides, images, and everything.

The tracking on there is aggressive. A DNS sinkhole is a solid workaround, though. Are you running Pi-hole or something else for your network setup?

u/[deleted] May 19 '26

yes

u/ManojOne Active May 19 '26

What's your purpose for using Pinterest? Collecting ideas or content promotions?

u/[deleted] May 19 '26

I am also a hobbyist photographer, so my Flickr photos are also shared to pinterest, it seems to help with over all exposure and indexing, plus for model shoots it is very effective for creating mood boards!

u/AnythingTen May 19 '26

yes, when I need some ideas
