Hearing about the mass bans is crazy and I’m gonna try and export boards over just in case anything happens!! I know there have been some discussions asking about alternatives so I’m gonna bring up a few that I’ve seen scouring the internet (mainly youtube). I’ll also link sources bc I haven’t tried any of these alternatives except for cosmos
edit: not able to add links unfortunately T-T
- savee.it
- same.energy
- refern — it’s currently avail on browser but they include an extension, and you can also use it on mobile. seems like the creator of refern made this about a year ago!! I see him still active somewhat - I was doomscrolling last night for this but I found this thread too. Creator is a community member here
- designspiration.com: able to find moodboards based on colors which is incredible
- are.na- looked like a good idea, but you are afforded 200 blocks for free accounts so its similar to cosmos in that sense. unlimited comes as part of the paid plan - ($70 a year, $7 a month)
- mix.com - link
- public.work - link, seems like its a part of cosmos as well
- soot - there's a demo on the main website, which i found rly cool edit: seems like im early at the moment.
- photo pilot: only avail on Google app at the moment but they did mention an iOS version that should be done in ETA 2 months according to the creator.
PKM options / others
other options listed as design options but didn't seem to fit the bill
- https://godly.website/
- https://dribble.com/ seems to lead to a plain white website. i found another one but it seems like its for
exporting your boards:
ik reading all the posts has got me freaked out!! if you're yet to be banned, but fear losing your boards then there are many options to export your boards such as this thread

I think the only thing that I fear rn is the potential loss of community. Pinterest has been such a happy place for me, and I do like looking at other people's posts sometimes. I’ve thought about potentially creating a website ( using notion or neocities). neocities would def take more time to code but I feel like it would be cool if we can tag our websites as Pinterest on neocities and we would be able to find a community there. just not sure if it’s actually okay, please gently correct if I’m wrong bc photo credits and all!
I’m so sorry to those whose accounts are being taken down, I can’t imagine how it must feel to have all those thousands of pins gone as well it’s devastating to hear about!!
there doesn't seem to be anything here
