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)

To have more accurate info, CoMaps has surpassed Organic Maps only in June 2026 (so very recent, and no data yet to show it's a stable trend), and only in edit counts (not in number of contributors yet). That still confirms what I said. The people most involved in OSM mostly migrated to CoMaps. Organic Maps still has a lot of inertia and a large userbase that probably isn't aware of CoMaps, but I still see more stable future for CoMaps than Organic Maps.
