I hardly use it now. I save things into collections on Instagram and I find it easier to find the original creator/pattern on there. I haven't tried collections, but I think I should. I have lots of screenshots of things that interest me. Thanks for the tip.

Love it. I just got off and came here. Every morning, my online routine is: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and here. All while watching the local news then Good Morning America. I recently started trying to reorganize my Pinterest boards, not sure when they started using sub-boards (or whatever they’re called), but I love them. My recipes were all jumbled up, and now I have them by category. I need to do that to a couple other boards too. Lately Pinterest has been pretty good at their suggestions for me too. My favorite new board I created is for hot air balloons, I’m just in love with them. They fly over our house frequently when it’s warm, I could watch them forever. Someday I want to go to Albuquerque. You sound like me! I check it each morning now while watching the local news, etc. I check it after I stop by here.

I still like it the same as I did before! Which means, I was always somewhat of a light user, but I still enjoying pinning ideas there. It helps me keep track of the "million" ideas I tend to have going, and I can use it for brainstorming/inspiration/ideas when I'd like.

Someday I want to go to Albuquerque. I had no idea there was a sub board option! Just didn’t notice and I’ve been wishing for a way to do that. So glad you mentioned it! I love Pinterest. I pin a lot and actually use pins sometimes. It’s great for remodeling our house. Have pinned tons of ideas for that and used them. I do a lot of recipe and scrapbook pinning, too!

But I do like to use it in a different way, to search for specific ideas, from time to time I have found it really helpful looking for ways to meet the CardTober challenges. I had become frustrated with all the ads, but since I started looking for things like “hexagon Christmas cards”, and pinning what I found, and then clicking on some the cards I have already pinned and scrolling through related pins, I am enjoying Pinterest again That is how I use it too

I don't participate in social media (outside of this site) & rarely hear people reference Pinterest anymore.

I usually google what I am looking for and if a Pinterest board pops up in the search, I may or may not click it.
I never went whole hog into Pinterest. And frankly there too many freaking social media sites to keep track of.

I haven't pinned anything new for ages - years maybe! But I still get on there occasionally when I want to cook something from my "tried and true" board.
I bugs me how every time I google something - anything! - almost every selection is from Pinterest. I don't want to be taken to Pinterest, where half the time I have to click through several pages to find what I'm looking for. Or I get onto someone's board and can't find what I'm looking for. Or Pinterest takes me to a page that no longer exists. Most of the time when I do a google search I put -pinterest at the end of the search so I don't get anything from Pinterest.

Yes, still love it. I use it weekly if not daily. All things Instantpot. Over half my regularly used recipes are on Pinterest, and it's the first place I go to search new recipes. I have boards for card and layout inspirations, that I use often, especially before retreats. I use it for costume ideas, kid projects and crafts, vacation planning, etc.

I actually like it better than I ever have! They've made some tweaks the past year or so that have made it easier for me to use, especially being able to create sub-boards and being able to organize y boards as I see fit. Seems like their app is better now, too.

I still love Pinterest, too, but had a bad spell about 8 months ago where my virus protection software detected several attacks against my computer, which originated from sites I visited from Pinterest. I've been a bit skittish since.

I've been a bit skittish since. My McAfee software catches those. I am glad it gets them but sad I can't get more info on the pin. I have gotten bad stuff from this site that McAfee doesn't always catch so I don't find using Pinterest any different for me anyway.

Actually, I have never liked it. The search engine is terrible. I get frustrated as so many unrelated things show up.

I only look at it if I'm looking at, or searching for, specific things. I do NOT like to look at my feed anymore, since it's cluttered up with suggestions and paid advertising.

I need to remember to exclude Pinterest the next time I do a search, especially an image search!
