The home feed is Pinterest’s collection of Pins from people, boards, and topics a user follows, along with personalized recommendations. It is the main stream users see when they open Pinterest.
The feed is not simply a chronological list. Pinterest uses signals such as the boards a person creates, Pins they engage with, and searches they make to select recommendations. That means the home feed can include content from followed accounts as well as ideas from creators, brands, or topics Pinterest thinks may be relevant.
This makes the home feed different from a board. A board is a user-created place for organizing saved Pins around a theme, while the home feed is a continuously changing discovery surface. The Explore tab is also different: it focuses on curated ideas and trends rather than serving as the primary feed of followed content.
Older descriptions often emphasize only followed users and boards, but Pinterest’s current help materials describe a broader personalized feed. The stored answer remains the canonical feature name: Home feed.
