pinners

Those who affix

Pinners are people who pin things—most often users of Pinterest who save images and links to virtual boards.

The term emerged with that platform's popularity: The pinners went crazy for her recipe photos.

In older or specialized use, pinners may be those who physically pin fabric, butterflies, or wrestling opponents.
