So what’s the ActivityPub version of Pinterest?

@box464@mastodon.social Pixelfed, probably.

[julian@activitypub.space]

@box464@mastodon.social whatever it is I am sure it can be built with Fedify or Emissary

[phillycodehound@indieweb.social]

@julian @box464 Yea, Pinterest has got a slop problem

[sascha@bonn.social]

@box464 @Sascha There was once Pinetta in development. https://codeberg.org/pinetta/pinetta

[squeakypancakes@sunbeam.city]

@box464 its been a slophole for a while now and they dont seem to care so much

[danslerush@floss.social]

@box464 Not federated but there is the selfhostable #Pinry › https://pinry.github.io/pinry/

[box464@mastodon.social]

@squeakypancakes Slop in, slop out.

At some point, people stop posting it's just going to be AI consuming AI.

[box464@mastodon.social]

@Sascha No code. There are a few bookmark AP platforms that might fit the bill with a different UI layout.

[gargron@mastodon.social]

@box464 I’m still not sure what Pinterest does besides pollute Google search results

[box464@mastodon.social]

@Gargron It replaced teens creating collages for mood / inspiration boards. Maybe it would be better if they want back to them. The rubber glue companies would love it.

@liaizon @box464 I've been preferring are.na to pinterest for a while but they're not open source either! I'm considering switching to https://karakeep.app/ which is not federated but does have RSS feeds

[liaizon@social.wake.st]

@Trav @box464 are.na used to actually be floss not sure how much of the current version is tho https://github.com/aredotna/

they started from the open source backend code from art.sy

[thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange]

@box464 Piefed's gallery view is the closest approximation I know of.

Pinetta was more directly focused trying to be a Pinboard alternative hasn't been updated in a couple of years.
