Honestly, I do not feel like needing something "more" than what I use right now. I'd say that reddit suffices for (almost) everything I need that I can't find with a simple search on brave search or Google

Kagi allows you to do things like inject CSS to filter out pre-translated Reddit results (although it is on their radar to make this a default setting).
Here's the CSS snippet hiding translations:
(technically you could inject it as a userscript but that's a bit more involved on mobile)
/*
Hide pre-translated webpages.
"sri-group" is main result, "__srgi" are sub results.
You can append `:not(:has(a[href*="tl=en"]))` to allow English translations.
*/
:is(div.__srgi, div.sri group._ext_r):has(a[href*="tl="]) {
display: none !important;
}
Although the main draw is being able to uprank, downrank and block sites in your results. They also do things like deprioritizing and labeling AI in image search, and concatenating listicles ("10 best Android note taking apps") under a single header.

Userstyles are always nice, and if an that’s officially endorsed use that sounds sick!

I think Brave Search has this too now? Not as straightforward – you can only change site rank when you’re on the search page, and only for the domains currently on that page for some reason – even though the adjustments you’ve made will apply to all searches from now on. Oh, and it also only has uprank and block.

Reddit comments are mostly bots shilling ideology or products nowadays though. At least that's the impression I get.

It's still okay for specific niches or local communities imho
