It was asked a couple of months ago, but given the AI enshittification, it seems a good time to ask again.

I looked around and found:

  • Pinetta is/was in development but seems dead with only an alpha release. I am chasing this up on Matrix. edit: Apparently still, technically, active although progress has been slow
  • Pinry is a FOSS alternative, but not federated, that seems dormant. However, it works and is in Python, so someone could bolt an AP server to it, he says airily.

    If you find one, keep up updated! It’s one of the things where you really need a critical mass already for it to be useful so it’s hard to kick off.

      You look for a images

      You get recomanded other similar images (thus engaging to a pleasant, but dangerous endless scrolling)

      You can pin you images on “boards” (for instance I have one for fashion, illustration, etc)

      There’s probably a workaround to make something similar available online, but I didn’t look info it do far

        Similar? No no no. That’s a shit algorithm.

        Let me give you an example. I search for leftist content. I somehow get served a British guy who does floor refinishing. It’s fantastic. I also get people doing skits about working in a restaurant.

        A good algorithm follows patterns in people’s preferences, not patterns in the content.

          You simply don’t get the usecase. I don’t want Pinterest to show me stuff that I’m into. I want it to show me similar pictures to build coherant yet creative moodboards.
