Using Pinterest's Suggested Feature

Pinterest analyzes what you search for and save, and it uses this information to suggest Pinterest accounts with similar interests. To see this section, go to your Inbox and scroll past your Messages until you are in the Suggested section.

Using the Pinterest Search Bar

Since Pinterest is a visual search engine, it has a powerful search system. To take advantage of this search system, just search for a topic in the search bar and change the filters to Profiles.

Pinterest will recommend profiles with the search keyword in their username, post regularly on the topic, have boards with the same keyword, and have the keywords (and their variations) in their profile descriptions.

Additionally, you can browse through your home feed, related pins and boards to search for more people you may be interested in following.

Remember, if you can't find someone, it might be due to privacy settings or the specificity of the username. Trying different variations or checking linked social media profiles can sometimes help locate the person's Pinterest profile.
