question for Pinterest users

Do you find that there are boards and/or pinners that show up in your main feed page that you do NOT follow?  It's driving me crazy, and clogging up my board!  I can't figure out how to make it go away, because when I click on either the board OR the pinner, it shows up that I'm not following, so there's no way to UNfollow.

Ugh!

Re: question for Pinterest users

  • Nope. I just see people I follow. Unless I use a drop down at the top to look at say all the nature related pins. That is a global thing. not just within your feed
  • my mom complained of the same thing. turns out, she had clicked to follow them, or one of their boards, at some point in time. i found that even though it looks like you aren't following them that you really are-the button to click isn't as obvious whether you are following or not as you would expect. i finally figured this out after trying to STOP following several people unsuccessfully.
    Thanks to our wonderful RE our family is complete!

  • they have you follow people based on your interests when you signed up so that you had something to start on your feed- However you should be able to go to them and then unfollow either the person, or the board. Could it be that you are following just on of their boards and not the person as a whole?

  • I really can't figure it out!  I click on the board...not following that.  I click on the user...not following them.  UGH!!!  there is one board in particular called "this is sooooooo me" where apparently people (anyone) can just upload stuff, so I'm seeing ALL of those pins.

  • On your Pinterest homepage, at the very top under the logo, make sure the word "Following" is bolded instead of the word "Everything"

    When I first started, it defaulted to showing me random pinners and boards. I clicked on "Following" to show only those board or pinners that I follow.

    If that doesn't help, then I have no clue. :-(

    I just double checked that, but no...I'm looking at "following". I even tried following the pinners, then unfollowing them....but they're still there!  I'm being pinterest stalked!

  • I see random people pop up every once in awhile.  It's freaky.

    I've just gone to MY Pinterest page, clicked on "Following," then scrolled down through to find the person and clicked to stop following them.  I've never had any problems un-following the random people, though.

  • One of my FB friends was also having issues with pinterest yesterday - maybe there was an actual issue with the system? I hope it goes away for you!
