Pinterest vs reddit

Pinterest (Pinterest's Open Source Projects) and reddit both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Pinterest and reddit sit at essentially the same overall ecosystem score (40), which is unusual and worth reading through the pillars below.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), Pinterest is ahead of reddit. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), reddit is slightly ahead of Pinterest. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Pinterest is slightly ahead of reddit. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), reddit is clearly ahead of Pinterest. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Pinterest is slightly ahead of reddit.

Pinterest carries 30,737 GitHub stars across 98 public repos, with 37 repositories active in the last 90 days and 22 external contributors on record. reddit shows 4,004 stars across 174 public repos, 26 active in the last 90 days and 16 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Pinterest's footprint is roughly 7.7x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Pinterest is the stronger read for anyone weighting code quality. reddit looks better where reach is the deciding factor. The table below breaks the scores down pillar by pillar; the linked profiles cover the underlying repos, docs and community signals in full.
