Garmin Connect is actually fairly decent. Tracks activities (also sleep, which I find pretty useful), fairly detailed stats, little to none social features and a little gamification with challenges and achievements.

Also the watch reminds you to move from time to time.

Komoot is great for planning of "trips" and "stealing" other people's routes. I've done couple of them and you kind of never know what you're gonna see there (hopefully not agressive dogs), all of them were pretty enjoyable. It has a bit of a social aspect, but barely anyone uses it where I live, so IDK how it is.

One thing I miss from Strava are segments (or whatever they're called) - short parts of your route with it's own leader-board. Has "speedrun, but IRL" vibes, which is pretty cool IMO.

Garmin connect also has segment feature. Might have to set it up on the website, not sure.

It is default, but unless your activities are public, your data isn't included. It will still tell you where your recorded activity would rank (and a CTA to change the privacy). I have a couple of somewhat popular segments I ride. I try to stay in the top 100.

Yeah I use Komoot a fair bit for planning rides and hikes, it’s great and pretty widely used here in Germany.
