Quit using Reddit for like a year after the API changes, then used it again for like a week primarily to search for an alternative (... Reddit sadly still is best for searching information), used both for a while before I stopped using it again, this time primarily because it's overrun by bots and the first party app is absolutely awful and I still heavily dislike their API decisions.

Only Lemmy now :)

I'm also a huge open source fan

And the brain drain on Reddit is real.

It'll get better, Reddit just is over a decade ahead in posts so it obviously has much more.
