I use ListenBrainz nowadays as the metadata is so much better at handling edge cases than Last.fm is (e.g. featured artists in the artist tag) and I honestly just use Rate Your Music for recommendations now.
I use both but I found listenbrainz not so great for finding new music. I definitely agree it’s waaaay better at tagging though because people actually clean up the database and it’s easy to contribute yourself too.
For the recommendations part, the best solution for me was to switch to a scrobbling platform like last.fm.
This way, regardless of what I’m using to listen to music, I can go there for recommendations based on what I listen to.
