There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community/

https://mapcomplete.org/ is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)

Apple maps used to use OSM for many parts of the world, and still uses it in some remote areas. They even have a team of employees being paid to edit/update it: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities/Apple
