i was wondering if there was a decent pinterest/we heart it app for the fediverse? i love making aesthetic pinboards and it would be nice to do without being on pinterest (which i believe is facebook)

Pinterest is their own publicly traded company.
They aren't owned by Meta.

I found Pinry and Pinetta. Though they seem to be kinda defunct without much recent activity.

Pixelfed allows you to make collections of posts, kinda like Pinterest.

That's all I found with a simple search.

Yah, Pinry is good, still works but is not being developed.

I heart Pixelfed too. Its like Instagram.

Would any photo app work though?

Misskey (and its forks) allows to pin posts of yours or other users to a Clip.

oh, I love this idea. I like to spend time on Pintrest but I hate all the AI.

Misskey seems like it might be a viable alternative if only their server list wasn't under maintenance.

hello internet friend.

aesthetic does not mean nice looking. a pleasing aesthetic is nice looking. a displeasing aesthetic is not nice looking.

they way you are using the word is like describing a cold beer as ‘very temperature’, or a fast car as ‘many speed’

alas i do not know the answer to your question, i’m merely here as in online pedant. thank you for your attention. carry on.

Aesthetic in this case is an adjective not a noun. Aesthetic pinboard means the pinboard's purpose is visual. Basically style over substance (not in a negative way)

Literally a quick google search of the definition of "aesthetic" would have saved you the embarassment.

"Adjective: 1. concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty."

A quick check on Merriam Webster dictionary says otherwise
