As another person who is annoyed at the amount of Reddit people bring over here, I feel this is an exception.

I don't think we have a Fedi replacement for this. To me, this is the equivalent of the "audience score" on Rotten Tomatoes. We don't seem to have the user base here or a way to tally up scores from multiple instances, especially as not everyone federates with everyone else.

The Reddit scores I see as a wider group of people from those that are casual fans to pretty hardcore, and also with English as a main language. I do feel it skews younger, which makes it less helpful to me, but I think it gives us something different than we'd get from MAL, etc.

I think someone was doing a set of 3 lists for a while that showed the differences, but I'm not sure when I saw it last.

I'm happy for whatever list gets put up here, since that means I don't need to go somewhere else to get it. This gives us Reddit data without having to go to Reddit, and I think having this here can be enough to keep some from going back for the list and just staying there for the bigger set of posts and comments.

Exactly this. While federation has a lot of pros, it does come with some cons as well, especially if the user base is small. Hopefully the user base here will grow once reddit finally reaches enshittification levels of OVER 9000
