Does anyone know of any alternatives to Pinterest? To be honest, I’m fed up with it—not just because of its interface, but because of the data collection and tracking, to the point where I’ve started seeing adverts for the very same things I was searching for on other apps that have nothing to do with it. If you’ve had any experience with any alternatives (I’m particularly interested in design interior and architectural and envirenement content), please let me know.

How do you use it?

My main interaction with Pinterest had been with it clogging my search results with copied images that no longer link back to their source pages.

Yes, it's has that problem... and I’m now looking for other reliable apps...

Perhaps as a stopgap measure a separate browser profile for it?

Yes, that’s a good idea, thank you.
