I’ve been wondering if there’s a decentralized, Fediverse-compatible alternative to Pinterest out there.

The idea of a federated platform for sharing and curating visual content, DIY ideas, and inspiration boards seems like it could be a great addition to the Fediverse ecosystem.


Some questions I have:

Does anyone know of an existing project that’s similar to Pinterest but Fediverse-compatible?

If not, has anyone considered developing such a platform?

What challenges might be involved?

Perhaps it could be potentially created under the Pixelfed Banner, similar to Loops?

Would there be interest in the community for a Pinterest-like service on the Fediverse?


I personally believe that this could be an exciting project, but personally, I lack the technical knowledge, energy, and time to take it on myself.

However, I’d love to hear your thoughts and see if there’s any traction for this idea.

If such a service doesn’t exist yet, maybe this post could spark a discussion or inspire someone with the right skills to consider developing it.

What do you all think?

Is this something you’d be interested in using or contributing to?
