While Pinterest is a great place to spend some time and see wonderful content, it can be tricky finding specific content you are looking for. That is why there are so many similar sites that are more specialized and have communities that are focused on just one topic, like fashion, design, photography, or DIY. In fact, the concept has become so popular that you would be hard-pressed to find a category that doesn’t have at least one Pinterest-like site out there. We tried to include something for everyone in our list of top 10 sites and apps like Pinterest for 2023
