On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), reddit is ahead of Workable. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), reddit is slightly ahead of Workable.

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. Workable shows 785 stars across 96 public repos, 5 active in the last 90 days and 5 external contributors.
