On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), reddit is slightly ahead of Smartsheet. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), reddit is ahead of Smartsheet. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), reddit is slightly ahead of Smartsheet.

reddit carries 4,004 GitHub stars across 174 public repos, with 26 repositories active in the last 90 days and 16 external contributors on record. Smartsheet shows 150 stars across 11 public repos, 8 active in the last 90 days and 15 external contributors.
