I think it’s just so much better of a system where you get to pick your interests(communities) and see everyone inputs and opinions instead of a random feed or picking a few accounts to follow and only see their opinions

Is it engagement? Does Reddit really have any less engagement than Twitter or Instagram?

    I think it’s worth pointing out also that Reddit moved away from vote-based ranking like 10 years ago. They use an algorithm for ranking as well. The karma scores you see next to posts are not their actual vote tally. The numbers are assigned by algorithm with the votes just being a factor that influences the final number. I hated that change. It was probably the earliest sign for me that things were going in a bad direction.
