Like most social media networks, Pinterest is driven by an algorithm, which means it shows you the content you regularly engage with.
I tend not to visit Pinterest to look for bookish information, so I rarely find it. Instead, my Pinterest feed tends to be filled with recipes (sometimes useful), home renovation ideas (rarely useful), or fashion (pretty but not useful as most of the clothes aren’t available in New Zealand and the seasons are wrong).
This is where hashtags come in handy. If I was looking for bookish information on Pinterest, I’d have to use bookish hashtags like #AmReading or #ChristiFic or #ChristianRomance.
However, I tend not to use Pinterest a lot. My go-to social media network is Facebook, with Twitter and Instagram taking turns at second place. I find a lot of bookish content on Instagram. I’ve obviously trained that algorithm better.
